I've spent all week inside on rollers and turbo.
Minor roads look to cold tomorrow am - ice
The ridgeway is a possibility but probably not cold enough to freeze mud? What's it like atm?
whereabouts?
conditions in the chilterns are about as bad as it gets. yesterdays 'snow' contained a hell of a lot of water for already saturated ground, its icey this morning, but not enough to freeze the mud anywhere where there is shelter.
some local stuff is still passable, but i wont be going near the ridgeway for a while.
Don't bother. It has to be frozen hard or bone dry for a few days - and its neither of those.
4hr road ride from noon and careful on the shady bits....
Very very not nice currently Streatley > Wantage.
Ground is saturated round Wantage way. Once the snow melts will be like riding on a sponge.
Might be fun on the SS
it wont, your wheels wont move, at all.
^been there. couldnt ride so had to get off and push.
then couldnt push as the tyres jammed solid every 10m
carrying a 25lb bike with 25lb of mud stuck to it aint fun.
