warning: contains dust
No riding for moi. Snowed in at a Leeds hotel - woke up to a huge dump...
Got to clear a rugby pitch now?!... 😕
Bikes and sledges - oresum!

Saturday - Lazy day followed by a trip to the gym, only to discover that the normal weights machines and free weights have been replaced with a load of contraptions with pulleys, ropes, handles and no instructions, just a big spangly logo with some buzzword. Great if your a geriatric granny, rubbish if you just want to do a simple routine of pull ups, dips, bicep curls and bench press. Not a happy camper.
Sunday - Minley with the Trolls folowed by [s]beer[/s] [i]tea[/i] in the pub
Snowman and snowball fight Saturday

Crosser out for a quick spin Sunday (+another snowball fight)

Good work DrP, proper family fun. 😀
Stole an hour in Rivelin valley, Sheffield, every descent like a smooth toboggan run, excellent fun.
Lots more snow today, may ride tonight.

Road ride (100k), Sledging, London Bike Show.
Got sent home from work early on Friday, so went for a 25km local ride round the woods finished off with a hot chocolate & a nice pice of ginger cake at the forest cafe.
Headed off into North Wales on Sunday and did a 35km loop from Moel Famau, to Nercwys Forest and up round some hills with drifts 3ft deep along alot of the trails & Offas Dyke before returning to the car park - had to get pushed out due to the amount of show that had fallen in the mean time.
All good, except for being impossible to engage SPDs...

Spent the weekend on the sofa after losing the front wheel commuting home on Friday night and coming down hard on my knee.
I was doing a lot of things wrong and I'm paying the price! Fingers crossed for a swift recivery - a cheeky long weekend in the Alps in 3 weeks hangs in the balance.

I got up at 07:30, went for a run at 09:00, back in bed for 11:30 and woke up again at 14:00. No pics of me asleep i'm afraid.
Sat - That'll be the Bike/Boat Show then. Long day in all, wandered around until I found some lone chap sitting on a stand called SingleTrack.. Well blow me I thought, whats this doin ere? So I popped over and said "Helyo, I uses de Furum I does" Bless his heart, he gave me the thumbs up. I also stopped MrsBouy from spending £900 on a table.. ohhh how we had banter/argument/banter until I won.
Sun - Cleared off into an amazingly quiet London Town and bought some s****y boots in a sale.. Then meandered around, took some photos of deserted streets then in the Gym for a few hours and dripped with sweat in the Sauna.
Mostly there were four wheels on my waggon, not two.. 😐
Little bit of snow..

Sheffield to Edale via Rivelin valley, Stanage Causeway, Hope and Jaggers Clough. Made use of the following wind and got the train bike.
Stanage Causeway is so much better in the snow than usual !
Entered my first ever dh race at Tavistock in Devon - woodland riders winter series rd 1, I was in a strong masters cat which included kye forte and jim davage. Needless to say I didn't give them any cause for concern results wise but I had fun despite freezing my nuts off and will be returning for rd 2 next month.

tog hill just outside of bristol
Riding snowboards very fast near Innsbruck.
Quick spin out to the shops on Saturday and then had a ride in the proper snow on Sunday. Wished I had not chosen the rigid singlespeed as it was tough going in sections...

Didn't get out at the weekend, so took a slight diversion across the Quantocks on the way to work, hoping for frozen trails.
It was a bit softer than I expected and I only just made it in time!

Yesterday did an 81-mile road ride, chilly but good to get out. Not as much fun as last Wednesday's MTB in the snow though.
The fat bike saw some snow AT LAST

Bigfoot CC MTB Ride on a glorious Sunday morning
Some local riding around conwy mountain for me, it made some sections trickier than ever
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
Actually got out on the bike off road for an hour on Saturday, remembered how bad I am when the trail points down for a decent distance at a gradient I'm not comfortable with even when it's not particularly technical.
Proposed route back along the canal was shut but followed two other guys on mtb's and found a bridleway I didn't know about.
Only took one photo.

Hopefully off out again tonight though for my first night riding experience...wish me luck! 😉
Took the ski-bike out for its first test. 24" raleigh rigid girls bike circa 1990; skis cut in half and spaced up to the axles with a couple of 2x4's. Very easy to control and comparable pace to a snowboard, even managed to get a wee bit of airtime!
Snow ?
I went out in the back-country lanes, and ended up under-biking for a bit. 😛

Summittoppler ....where on Conwy mountain was that picture taken. I thought I'd ridden it all including some cheeky bits but I don't recognise that section at all ?

You got me, I said Conwy mountain as that is where the majority of the riding was done and I thought peeps would recognise the name rather than saying 'the sneaky track across the road from where the ice cream van parks at the top of Synchnant Pass and headed towards the top of the Donkey path' Give me a shout if you're still unsure 😉
It is a great piece of track, summer or winter, it still gets the concentration going, just don't look right!!!
First time riding in snow.

Got it I think..... through the 'o' of Capello on the OS, unmarked path and then switching back past Nant to Capello itself ?
