[Closed] Pentlands - current conditions

Tried the Pentland commute this morning, first time for a couple of weeks. Maidens from Glencorse - I rode about 80% of the climb, the only unridable bit is the bottom 200m. Maidens down towards Harlaw - lots of drifted bits, only about 70% ridable. A real chore towards the end where the gradient isn't there. From gate down Pistachio - a walk to the gate at the top of the woods. The main track is a river, woods OK.
Poets and the WOL - ice rink but fun.

About 4cm of fresh snow on everything from Penicuik to Poets. Then slushy stuff into town.

The new gloves - sealskin winter - worked well. No cold fingers at all and totally waterproof (came off on the ice down Pisctachio and put my hand in a puddle). Didn't feel too bulky, just need some real cold for a true test.
