The snow started last night and didn’t stop, it was crazy.

I got up this morning at 08.30 and the thaw had just started.

On the hack up through Weir I stopped for a coffee at Anna’s and a local farmer said that the latest he had sen snow like today was previously 14th April a few years ago.

Getting out in the Camino is great fun snd the good mix of road and gravel was great today

Lakes Cheeky Saturday with some MTB club buddies dodging the snow showers!

Snow sun and rain today

Forest of dean today interesting conditions dust berms/puddles slick mud bit of hail not a lot Dowies and Bluebell running well fair few people about did not know you could have 10 to 15 meeting outdoors yet!!!!!!!!!!!!AH well soon be bloody locked down again idiots.

Went and did the old lockdown loop I’ve been doing for ages, this time though I did it because I wanted to rather than it being the only option. Glad I did as a mate said that the trail centres and the regular natural stuff was all heaving. Think I saw 3 other riders in 20 miles! One but that has been diverted for the last 3 weeks no longer has trees though.

Will venture out to the wilds of the Beacons midweek and avoid the crowds then!

Some great stuff folks!

My son and I explored a bit further today, heading up Glen Finglass, then ‘Round the Hill’ (Meall Cala) and back.

Not at all techy, all double track, was more than a little over-biked on the Pole, however an enjoyable morning. Some fairly bastardly climbs, and quite a few breathtaking views. Nae bad.

MTB up Rivvy on Friday PM with a Chubby Solaris try out and a road ride to Southport and back this morning

Starting to get a bit of strength back following my crash last month. Felt good to get a longer ride and some decent singletrack done.

Met family at Comrie after descending off the hills behind, wife video-d the wee man chasing me round the pump track, suffice to say after 60km of tough gravel and a few weeks of back pain I wasn’t exactly flowing, will spare the internet that one…

No riding for me but did some trail work volunteering in the Forest of Dean, working on a brand new red descent. Should be super fun when it’s done!

Lundie again

Stretched our local East Ayrshire hilltop loop a bit further over toward Moniave and the Striding Arches. Hopefully just a couple more weeks and we can travel further within Scotland.

Got out in the woods again little bit of snow on the ground but running nicely.

Bottle-freezingly below zero just south of Inverness early on Sunday morning:

Image link fail ^^

(Edit – Postimage appears to be playing about.)

A bit of exploring near Ballater.

Tough first day of holiday week. 😎

(Not pictured – temp around freezing out of the sun, Lorne sausage on home made baps, home made millionaires cake and the nicest Brazilian Aassondantas coffee for lunch).

Looks great, even if it’s cold 👍. We are off in the camper for a few days tomorrow. Forecast is good so should get in some walks and rides.

Got out for the first time in a fair while, dodging the snow and sleet showers yesterday at Woburn.

The loggers have been busy since my last visit as well, with a fair amount of the old trails now treeless for a bit!

Still the weekend here.

Today: castles, beaver dams and spring.

Same for us, weather is good, trails are dry and nobody on them.

Great to be back out in the camper

Yesterday’s

Today

It’s eerily quiet here too – it’s still school holiday for most as well. A85 I would normally avoid, but today we had about 6 cars, two cyclists and 3 motor bikes pass us by in 7 miles. The south loch road was one car (police) and one other cyclist….

We didn’t see anyone on the trails yesterday and today saw a farmer rounding sheep with his dog and a jogger. Come the weekend it will be heaving but we will have left by then 😎

⬆️The beast without a stream running down it! I need to go ride it before it’s soaking again.

Nice evening ride yesterday. Awesome sky.
