I know there have been lots on here. Some stunning ones as well. But this was my first proper snow ride, after a couple of aborted attempts. About 15 PSI in the tyres at the end, hard work on the fireroads, bonkers fun in the trees ๐Ÿ™‚

Old jump bike. Still a laugh to ride.

90 minutes later, I was spent! Now I've promised to tow the kids' sledge. I'll be needing a beer later. I've not been out for a week, and I so needed to ride today ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah I reckon so, started at about 30 and was really struggling on the fireroads which had seen lots of foot traffic and freeze/thaw. Dropped the pressures as low as I dared and seemed to have loads of grip.

Just been out with kids sledging and riding a bike down a sledging slope that been pounded by many runs was proper tank slapper scary. Not sure there is a "right" pressure for that!
