We had a great ride last night too. Super grippy granular snow, probably about -5C. Long may it last.

It was 'mazing. A 30 minute ride taking 3 hours should be a nightmare. And I fell off, and it was nice and soft.

Looks great - but...

OH MY GOD - You've hardly got any snow at all!!!!

I went out yesterday and it was axle deep in most places which made those parts almost unrideable!!! 😮

We went out Sunday night across the Lincs Wolds. Only 4 of us made it (including 2 on a tandem), and the only thing that spoiled it was the pub in Swallow being shut when we got there, even though it was still full of drinkers.
Some fantastic drifting (and crashing) to be had.

Oh yes, was great. Nearly cleaned Blackie, just 1 dab. Stepping Stones had frozen over but wouldnt support Daves weight. 2 Hrs riding was enough though, after the Abott and the ride home I slept well last night.

Nice one.
I'm going to avoid the snow because it's so cut up and frozen it's almost impossible to get through.
Need another dump, that'll make it easier.
