Out for a few hours today, probably the slowest but one of the most enjoyable rides I've had. Couldn't get out last year so was determined today:

Not bad

Still not bad

Okay

Not this way either

uphill was a pain but downhill was fine - it's very powdery.

kudos - Horsham

wwaswas - 5th pic down is the start of a gradual but long slog up, snow was above the hubs and was impossible to move. Bit annoying as otherside of the hill is steeper and was looking forward to some snowy DH but met a walker who'd been through drifts up to his thighs on his way down towards me.

I made it out to Stanmer today - snow was very soft and deep - nice to get out though!

Stanmer by night ( wednesday evening when it still fresh )

best ride all year. The sepia light in the woods was bright enough to leave the lights off in some parts.

The obligatory bike shot:

The trip home along the A27 was " interesting ". The amount of mercedes' we saw stuck was bonkers.

Tuesday lunchtime in Stanmer before it got deep (featuring a curious retro bike I met, and its designer)
