Northern End, IE Campden, Snowshill etc are boggy and will be until this time next year 🙂 there are some routes which are passable year round though

alfabus - you say "bring on the freeze", but last time it did freeze the bloody roads were so bad I almost got my van stuck trying to get to the frozen Cotswolds.

When I did get there the snow was actually so deep I had to pedal downhill 🙁

I live in leckhampton, so its a straight out the door job for me 🙂

pedalling downhill is a bit of a downer, but if it is just cold, rather than deep snow, all the mud is beautifully solid and you can ride over the top of year-round quagmires 🙂

Got to get pretty cold to freeze up Cranham under the trees not happened to many times in the last 22 years.Very scenic in there when it snows.Get alot of snow on the track below the race track.Real danger comes from the roads.
