Friday night so it counts as the weekend, out over Lulworth ranges, -1 in Corfe when I started and -3.5 when I got back.

Darn it, recovering from covid, and we've got snow to play in.

Tell me about it. Day 14 damn Coroni. Just starting to snow about 400 meters now on the hill above where I live. Desperate to get up for even just a photo.

No pictures, but yesterday's tow path ride to the next town via the canal was Baltic. The canal was frozen and I had to stop twice to stop the pain in the end of my fingers.
Just heard that Manchester airport has shut both runways, due to heavy snow.
I love the trails in this kind of weather, hard packed with a light dusting of snow, quiet meaning not too many folk out.

I don't know why Manc Airport is shut, we've had less than an inch. It's pretty though (I'm higher up than the airport).

Gravel bike ride to test new superstar PSA wheels and Maxxis Ramblers. Very impressed! Had a lot of fun in the snow

An inch of nice squeaky snow smoothed out the tracks and trails, freezing fog on the tops.

Forgot how much I like riding in snow, it turns the ordinary into an adventure.
Passed a group of 35(!) riders grinding up as I headed home..

Sorry, couldn't let that stand. Let's call it as it is rather than how they tell us it is 🙂

Only had time for a quick local ride. Started off at minus a few and didn't warm up much!

https://flic.kr/p/2o55vva

Sun's barely up!

New Muglyhugger not needed (this is for my GIga really hence being the ginormous version)

https://flic.kr/p/2o56KCA

Yeah that trail is going to take a bit of rebuilding

https://flic.kr/p/2o56q9N

Proper frosty

It would, ideally, have been a bit colder as there were too many slushy puddles.

It was very pretty out. But numb thumbs really didn't make stopping to take a pic or 2 very inviting!

@Gallowayboy I was in that group,  Was a memorial ride for one of our regular riders who sadly passed away recently, Hence the big turnout!  As you say lovely conditions

Lovely photos.

Yes the closing of Manchester airport with 'heavy snow' was laughable. Just show how the media 'sensationally' report everything.

No cycling today, too much ice under the snow and many lanes won't get gritted nowadays.

Friday up at the monument was nice, the ground frozen iron hard, but it got distinctly chilly as you dropped west into the mist.

Too icy here for bike, so me and my pal getting some fresh air before I jump onto the Wattbike 🤪

Had an accidental NBD yesterday so had to get out. Great fun if a touch slippy in places.

Snowy bimble with Mrs S

About 30cm of snow now in the Glenmore area. It's not been too trodden so still fine for walking on.
