I see its open now, but what’s the road like? Any snow drifted onto it, any icy patches?
Supposed to be riding over to the Lakes tomorrow morning.

I was up there today, theres mahoosve drifts on either side of the road and its a tad narrower in places but generally its ok with no ice.

ace. I’ll take the camera then 🙂

Bandito can you report back on lakes conditions/photos as im meant to be rding there at the weekend…. going over from northumberland too

Anus. I wouldnt. Go to Dalby instead.

Ride over on friday morning was a right laugh. First shake-down ride on the new audax biike and it was superb. Hartside was indeed fine, with 6′ + drifts either side of the road. I was a little unsure about re-frozen snow-melt on the road but it was fine.
Ride back last night into the headwind was chuffin’ hard though.

Didn’t do any mtb riding over the weekend, just a bit of walking. Lots of snow in places still, especially where its been troddne into the paths and re-frozen, even lower down. Where the snow has gone, the ground is dry and firm though so it has potential…
