Coin toss between Afan or Cwm Carn, with maybe a cheeky Sunday Darkside thrown in as well

Western area of The Peak, start in Marple and head off towards Hope and back. Hoping for not to much pushing

Thetford WS2 on Sunday. I'll be languishing somewhere near the back as always. Looking forward to it though.

Snow is really deep here, like trying to ride through fluffy sand. Walking is a lot more enjoyable!

Thats to a day with you Jedi, doing my first (mini) DH race in the Forest of Dean on Sunday. -10 there last night but hopefully there will be some thaw, not that I am planning on getting off at any point.

I'm in S Wales, roads aren't too bad Cwm Carn should be easily accessible.

Sunday's road sportive in the Lakes is looking pretty unlikely...

As Mark75 says, roads down here in S Wales aren't that bad, we've had the snow for over a week now, so a bit of a darkside bimble should be easily doable, if not I'll class it as skills training.

Offerton Green to as far as I can toward Ladybower before I lose the will to carry on and come home again (Probably about as far as Marple then based on yesterdays Hathersage excursion).

I'm thinking of going for a jaunt from Ramsbottom. The new bike needs christening (should I finish building it tomorrow). Lots of snow but should be a giggle

Nowhere, by the looks of the weather. Local trails are under 6 inches of snow. Roads are a nightmare, so a road trip somewhere less snowy looks doubtful.

Local XC route gets pretty interesting once the mud has frozen this time of year, that should do for me.
