Headed out on my first mtb ride in, um, about 8 months (sorry) this evening. Nice route around Macc forest, really wan't expecting it to be snowy though!

Love the pics mate.

I've just started to discover night riding. Solo though unfortunately.

Not had an opportunity to ride at night in the snow however. Must be a magical experience.

Cheers. I normally ride alone, this was a rare group ride!

Predominantly ride on a Monday night throughout the year so mostly night rides in a group from 2-8. Very occasionally solo and amazing how the mind plays tricks....😀

Rode some fod offpiste alone while waiting for the rest of the group to show up and was terrified! Certainly didn’t stop to rest, sure I had whiplash from looking over my shoulder so much!

Not really. I prefer to ride in daylight though as I mainly do it for the views.

Night riding in snow is the best, by a long chalk.

But why are most of those pictures in portrait?

Good stuff. Love a ride on fresh snow.

Must get to try Macc Forest too. Never been.

So that they play nicely with Instagram stories 😁

Great pictures! I love night rides with snow. It makes everything seem just a little bit magical.
