If you want to familiarise yourself with the hills it’s best to drive over and meet up with someone. I live on Clent so ride it all the time (Mick only pretends to know his way around :D)
After drinking the Stella (minor ‘pep’ I would normally rate that as), a much more storming pep of your Rum – see hip flask left dwarfing mine pic right), I was feeling… well not so bothered about my finger pain on the merry way home 🙂 Merry Chrimbo
As good as Formula are in the field so to speak, their prices are too high, and the worst of it is spares are difficult to source, and also very expensive
The main roads are ok, Clent side roads are compacted snow, with some ice, and a little more snow on top. Temp much higher and a bit of a thaw going on here in Stourbridge . Should be fine for later. We’ve ridden the hills in worse
