Just got back from a ride up Rivvy, really hard going riding in this stuff.

it's 18" deep off the back of the pike!

More comedy dismounts than I can ever remember, bloody good fun. we were all giggling like kids most of the way round

Met samuri on his on-one rigid fixed wheel. (Bloody mental and hats off to him)

It was lots of fun, very hard work in places though, I feel like I've done a century.

Nice to meet you all.

(Possibly not the best choice of bike for the conditions today.

Just back from Winter Hill. The wind up there this afternoon was savage and the snow is now drifting. The road up to the mast was just a push / carry but San Marino was just pure lunacy.

We thought about going up the road to the top of the dog kennel run, but decided better of it with the state of that wind and the depth of snow.
