Was thinking of getting out for a ride round Belper tomorrow, and wondered if anyone had been out on the trails recently?

How much snow is there around Chevin, Dark Lane, Drum Hill etc?

We still have plenty in Ripley but going quite quickly, i reckon Shining Clifff could well be a bit of a mudfest if its thawed, so heading for Sherwood Pines sunday just to put miles in.

Not been out myself but [url=

Cycles[/url] have put the odd photo up over the last few days. I can still see snow a fair amount on the Chevin as I drove through an hour ago.

Cheers chaps. Not sure whether to risk it for a biscuit.

Does look a wee bit snowy on the Buzz cycles pics, but that could just be a drift.

Not been out recently as I have a stress fracture of my right Tibia!

Might sneak out for a gentle ride up Wyver, down Longwalls and up the Chevin in the morning while the missis isn't looking.

Did anyone ride round Belper over the weekend? How was the snow?

I ended up riding a route round the woodland of Notts instead, but am planning to head out round Belper in a couple of days.

Never seen another Ti Commencal on the trails Iain, will keep an eye out for you if you're local!
