Rooley Moor Pootle on Saturday

Didn’t get out at the weekend, so took a slight diversion across the Quantocks on the way to work, hoping for frozen trails.
It was a bit softer than I expected and I only just made it in time!

Yesterday did an 81-mile road ride, chilly but good to get out. Not as much fun as last Wednesday’s MTB in the snow though.

The fat bike saw some snow AT LAST

Bigfoot CC MTB Ride on a glorious Sunday morning

Some local riding around conwy mountain for me, it made some sections trickier than ever

Actually got out on the bike off road for an hour on Saturday, remembered how bad I am when the trail points down for a decent distance at a gradient I’m not comfortable with even when it’s not particularly technical.

Proposed route back along the canal was shut but followed two other guys on mtb’s and found a bridleway I didn’t know about.

Only took one photo.

Hopefully off out again tonight though for my first night riding experience…wish me luck! 😉

Took the ski-bike out for its first test. 24″ raleigh rigid girls bike circa 1990; skis cut in half and spaced up to the axles with a couple of 2×4’s. Very easy to control and comparable pace to a snowboard, even managed to get a wee bit of airtime!

Snow ?
I went out in the back-country lanes, and ended up under-biking for a bit. 😛

Summittoppler ….where on Conwy mountain was that picture taken. I thought I’d ridden it all including some cheeky bits but I don’t recognise that section at all ?

You got me, I said Conwy mountain as that is where the majority of the riding was done and I thought peeps would recognise the name rather than saying ‘the sneaky track across the road from where the ice cream van parks at the top of Synchnant Pass and headed towards the top of the Donkey path’ Give me a shout if you’re still unsure 😉
It is a great piece of track, summer or winter, it still gets the concentration going, just don’t look right!!!

First time riding in snow.

Got it I think….. through the ‘o’ of Capello on the OS, unmarked path and then switching back past Nant to Capello itself ?
