Arse, shudda bought a fatty

Did yesterday, and a couple of days before that, and a couple of days before that, and... getting sick of the sight of the stuff now.

Went out for a couple of hours this morning when it was still chucking it down 🙂

Work, coffee and biscuits have been keeping me entertained today, will be making up for it in the morning.

Assuming the 4" of snow we've had is going nowhere for now...

Came the fun way home across Cannock Chase this afternoon. Loads of snow, ace fun but blummin' hard work, I'm knackered!

Tomorrow, bike out with knobbly mud tyres on. Couldn't do today, was driving home from working week away. That was entertaining enough in a rear wheel drive automatic.

Best thing about the snow is dumping the car and playing on the bike, although it does encourage those special looks from the neighbours and local townsfolk.

West Wales. First ever snow ride! Hard work!!

had a blast around the local fields today, with the GF's son in tow. Lots of fun seeing how far I could lean it over in the snow.

Off out at 8pm so batteries charging and just starting to layer up.

Three hours before the off ? 😆

You snow bikers have my utmost respect. I just did'nt fancy the 3 mile slog to the Chase to ride a trail I could'nt see. Spent the day in the pub with the Mrs on the mulled wine instead.

As I said..respec...innit.

Took the dog out on his invisible bike.

Yep, all boxes ticked - clogged frame, clogged pedals, frozen Camelbak, comedy slo-mo crash, uncontrolled nervous giggling. Lovely stuff. 😆

Yep 8miles into the office in proper deep snow on my Langster with 700x24 halo twin rails, make for a most amusing (and mostly sideways) ride still grinning now after the return journey home......

Dead jealous of the amount of snowfall in everyone's pics, Keswick hasn't seen any snow below about 200m 🙁
Had great fun sliding around in the ice tho 😀

Extra hardman point at work 😀

Yep. Picked the kids up from nursery in the bike trailer. They loved it!

Extremely cross!

Rode in in cold, expecting amusing sideways ride back on Thorn Raven with knobblies. Went to get bike at 4 [drivers all wanted to leave early] only to discover:

1) The warehouse heater had burst my rear tyre
2) I had forgotten to pack a spare tube
3) The glue in the puncture kit had gone off

result:
1) Accepted lift back in van, unbelievably cross.
2) Dropped off at Halfords - purchased 3 innertubes [£8.99 to fit?!?! No thanks!]
3)Rode around mostly sideways for 1 hour
4)Returned home, drank a beer and took the rabbits out on leads in the snow 🙂
5) Posted in STW

Had to drop car off at garage in town this morning, good excuse for a ride home in the snow 🙂

Cracking hour or so near Christow in Devon this morning....

Just back from a three hour session on the single speed.
Knackered and only two off's 🙂

Went out 7 miles in the pouring rain..Had an issue with worn brake pads and ended up in a hedge..Cut ride short then and went home.

No rear brake would have been no fun.

Will pick up some new pads tommorow

Fair play some awesome scenic pictures gents! 🙂

I just rode to work roads nearly car-less here in Cardiff.

I'm dead jealous that no one is at work!

Could not face another session on the rollers or turbo – so headed out for a short / quick spin on the MTB – got a bit over confident on a fast decent & ended up hitting the deck – surprised at the amount of snow in the woods – short ride – big smiles – and naturally I was on the Yeti

Combining two of STW's passions, I did 25 miles on the road to go and get some more coffee beans 🙂 bike was suitably niche though; cx/disc/Alfine....
