... at Tunnel Hill near Farnborough. It was a bit daft to be honest, I don't know the area at all and I could barely see where I was going in the snow... still, a laugh tho. Stopped on the way home to push a motorist up a hill.
Hi molgrips - have you not hooked up with the Trolls yet then?
Been to the lookout tonight great fun in the white stuff.
dalepoint - would you recommend gears or not for Swinley tomorrow then?
Just been out for a snoride from home tonight, squeaky snow so fine for grip where it had been compacted by walkers but too deep elsewhere to ride, sort of like a dense foam pit that just stopped you dead. Didn't make the the two steepest climbs on the route and generally really slow going but great fun.
Managed 9 whole flattish miles in an hour and a half, only one off when the front wheel washed out into deep snow and flipped me off, making a huge Fat Elvis shaped snow angel. Yay!
Lots of smiles. Great to be out and turning the legs over, snatching some riding from the jaws of the sofa.
It's that or the bloody turbo (if I can get the shed open!) 🙂
gears are fine I am not a subscriber to the single speed myself. Had no probs tonight with shifting at all. Have a good ride tomorrow then cinnamon_girl
Just been out around St Martha's nr Guildford. Was an awesome ride! Very good amounts of grip but limited viz with the snowfall. The hipflask with a good single malt hit the spot and the drive home was "interesting"!!!
I took the dog for a spin. Great fun, although all the fallen trees battering me in the face wasn't nice! Amazing to be able to night-ride though the woods without lights on.
Fun riding on the empty roads too with the dog leaping about off the lead. I know what I'll be doing if I'm off work tomorrow 🙂

But where is the trailhound Dez? Fail!
went for a ride yesterday the ground was frozen so was very fast (we have very little snow here) forgot to take the lights out so only manged 16 miles in 1.5 hrs. Crashed only the once at the end. There is 2 types of ice grippy ice and slippery ice. I hit the latter. Bent the mech hanger so had to bodge that back in to place. Awsome ride even with a cold.
CG, not been out with the trolls yet - keep meaning to get in touch but riding's been all over the place lately.
Considering going out tonight in the deep snow, for a laugh 🙂
