Roads are all fine, there is still a surprising amount of snow on the Chase itself.
I’ve kept off the bike for the last week but took the kids for a walk yesterday and there are many sheltered spots where the snow is as thick as when it first fell but now more icy.
We’ve had some reasonable weather but it’s been freezing overnight and staying cool during the day. Factor in that it’s not really rained in the last week and the snow is hanging in there.
The FC are now working through to clear snow fallen and damaged trees from the trails.
It’s not as though there are apocalypse levels of snow but there’s enough to make the riding pretty crap and give us upcoming problems when the thaw is over and rider numbers pick up again on the temporarily weakened surface. In a few days it’ll be the chicken korma surface that our local trail material yields during a soggy thaw :o(
