I was up there around 8ish this morning (riding home from work) and it looked pretty rideable to me, I was on a CX bike which made thing a bit more "interesting".

I'll try and meet you OF, walked up there today and it's firm on top, with icy piddles to crunch through, very few patches of ice to ride on and tiz wet in the bottom with lots of run off.

I'll come here int morn and check on your plans and meeting place. i've not ridden in 10 weeks so go easy on me...

Given that a bit more thought .Road from Over Stowey up might be too "interesting" .Going to park at Great Wood at the bottom of the Chimney .

Sorry mate, unforeseen circumstances meant staying in bed was a better option given the intense training it would provide.

Hope you enjoyed the ride as much as i did.
