pretty woeful covering here on Mount Malvern earlier this week while everyone else was fretting - I think we barely got 2 or 3 inches. Tonight, though the forecast is for a good dump. What do we reckon more puff, or a chance of a decent coating?

[i]What do we reckon[/i]

Your cutting-edge mercantile capitalism is generating too much white heat/light for it to settle.

Fingers crossed.

"Wintery mix" - I'm thinking tunes by the cocteau twins, sigur ros, Bjork etc.

Stoner.

If you really need to go ride in the snow you should take a drive to the heads of the valleys road. Still loads of it up there.
Great fun in the car today.... 😆

Oh, I want your bike... only smaller...

Not that I could ride it for a few days - I fell off my bike in the ice yesterday and am very battered 🙁

Did you take mini stoner sledging? Will loved the slopes by black hill car park - shame the grumpy arse at the malvern hills hotel stropped at our shoes - so we left without spending any money!

Nah, not really - I've got an On-one myself! (Just heard that the Ti one isn't as good as some other ti ones for the price - wouldn't stop me trying one mind!)

Anyway, my frame's great for a hack (whatever that means!) singlespeed, I just wish it had disc tabs - I'm beginning to seriously doubt vs!

I really like the grey and the headset and saddle combo, makes it one very sexy bike imo!

You going to be dragging that rigid SS monster up Dumfries way anytime soon, Stoner? You can come race me on my 5" full travel beast... 😉

hello beardy sir! Been a while - arent you still architecturising in London? Had a great week trip on the Stanes with some mates late last year - did nearly all of them + drumlanrig.

Dave - not this week as Mrs S and I have been holed up with the lurgy although he did have a snowball fight at nursery.

MM - cheers. I think it looks nice. Cant wait to rid this snot and start getting back into shape in time for a May trip to the mountains. SS needed to get my fitness back up I think.

Barely architecturising in London these days - filthy global depression, sorry, downturn...

Hope all is well with you. Give me a bell next time you're off oop north!

we've about 6-8 inches here. Sledging fun... 😀

Night ride last night was a struggle...In the "What tyres for snow" debate, the answer is not 2.4 Conti MK.

6-8 inches? Bstard!

Ive just done my work for the day so now toying with walking on mount malvern to see if its much deeper higher up, or maybe digging the SS out to push around for a bit?
