I personally have had a brilliant weekend. Yesterday rode from Edale, Hollins Cross, mam tor, rushop edge, Hayfield, Jacobs Ladder. Very Very Ice, The ladder was sheet ice for about 10m in places, which made climbing harder, and descending even more fun.
Then today decided to put the DH hat on and go for a play at Wharncliffe woods. Totally different in terms of grip/terrain, yesterday i had no grip due to ice, today no grip due to ice melting and creating mud. Seemed very busy, lots of DH chaps knocking around.
Anyways, a few shots, all taken from phone so poor quality etc...

from a ride on the road
40 miles around the Rhondda yesterday, it was only meant to be a quick spin.
Icey waterfall not too far from the Skyline trail at Afan
Scratch - Wow! I noticed the Beacons were iced up the other day, but didn't think there was anything like that in Rhondda.
This was Middle Wales, last weekend.

The Rhondda's a dark horse as far as riding goes.

They were all taken over at Kingsford downhill park, on the other side of Kinver Edge.
Crackin pictures guys. Wow. Love the comedy duo 😀
Cuckoo were yours taken on the cimb up to stanage pole and then on the road bit back toward burbage?
If I saw that fence too and thought it looked cool!
snapper.
Though it looked familiar.
Very observant steveh, both locations near Stanage as you said.
It's a pity there aren't more winter days like that here, didn't even have to bother cleaning the bike afterwards 😀
gingerflash, nice set of the 'cross nats. Do you let the flash fire at full power? I usually set mine to -1 stop so it acts as fill-in.
