I’m guessing hard packed ice and snow?

Nope, its mostly clear was very dry last night ground solid. The odd patch of ice.

Really? 😀

George’s lane no longer like an ice rink?

Might sneak out tonight if ground’s all nice and frozen.

I’ll be going up tomorrow (game on tonight). Let me know?? 🙂

it looked decent and rideable last night from photos on the rivington MTB facebook page, and if it’s owt like the MNPR Rammy ride was then it’ll be ideal. as long as you keep off the ice rivers on the bridleways and whatnot; where there’s still a decent covering of snow, it’s pretty grippy and loads of fun!

It’s the ones running down the edges of the road you need to watch out for 👿

Hora what time are you going?

I might be there again tomorrow night. Some of the pics on the facebook page are mine. It was perfect conditions IMO.

Was hoping to get up there after 5.30

It’s frozen solid on the tops. We had a brilliant ride last night. Returned with not a spy of mud on us!

But Rivi is open moorland. And it’s well documented how much you hate that 😛

I know but its my second ever proper night ride. Break myself in gently. On my first was up there too with you guys.

Frozen.

The crofters would be a good mnpr…

Just got back its ok ish but georges lane is an ice ring and I would avoid the Ice cream run or anywhere where water runs = wildes wood as well though I did not ride it
Pike was rideable and two lads [ snow there though] was fine Healey nab was ok but approach road was icy and almost unwalkable never mind ridable I stayed on the cheeky lowish stuff in the main but I was solo and I did not fancy an off.

It will be Ok basically but some sections will be sketchy as.

See you rode it. I just step out the back gate…

Leadership is not exclusive! If you fancy organising a night then shout up! The more people that lead then the better and more varied it will be for everyone else…

Cheers Junkyard and others. I think I’ll wait abit. I really dont want to comedown hard on ice and ruin riding for when the weather starts picking up.

I guess not much will have changed? I’m itching to get out on my bike. Sick of riding the **** **** commuting **** thing to work.

I will be up there tonight. Perfect conditions.

I will also be there with my ducktape, cable-ties and soothing voice.

Why put that low tree on the ice cream run? It almost pulled my head torch off 😆

Robj20 did you go up?

Yes, was a late one for me didn’t get there until 10:30. Started getting very cold.

BTW- on the descent off Rivi Pike- when did the second bit become evil slithering mud? 😯

You’re keeping too far to the left if it’s the same one my mate was wiped out by.

Re the slippy Pike if you mean the rutted part towards the bottom it’s been like that for a few weeks now, had an off on that bit early New Years morning. I’m blaming my new gopro for my new found habit of falling off.

Has anyone done San Marino in the current conditions? I imagine it will be fairly icey given the lack of sun on that side.
