No, bugger off :wink:

Well, it's just started snowing ... I'm not convinced it'll do much though.

I'm going stir crazy at the moment as I've not ridden since just after the winter bivi because of my knee. It's even worse that it doesn't actually hurt or have any symptoms at all, as it's difficult to reconcile why I'm not rding. I'm pretty sure I could manage the ride from Stu's to Nant Rhys but I just need to be patient and let it heal properly. Don't want a repeat of what happened with my other knee earlier in year...

Anyway have a good one people, enjoy it.

Snowing in shropshire now, might stick if it stays cold overnight. Was a bit traditional riding on longmynd today, I even to had to put a buff on. Would be a bit chilly out on the Kerry ridgeway tonight.

Still planning on being there tomorrow as well.

This afternoons snow has now turned to rain, whatever was down has gone ... it doesn't 'feel' like there's anymore due but we'll see.

Had a decent amount of snow here the last couple of hours, had to abandon a trip out before because the roads were bad including the M6 which was a crawl. No sign of any gritters either..

Hopefully the roads will improve by the morn..

I am doing the first part of the journey by train . . . Getting to the station which is 3 miles away should be fun as we have had a lot of snow - hopefully it shouldnt be too much of a mission in the morning :/

Snowed up on Wenlock Edge last night when I was heading that way...ended up dropping in on a mate out there and drying all my gear and digits out. Bloody cold out there when it was sleeting. Might want to rug up folks :) Heading back out to catch train to Caersws in a bit...should make it to BBT for around 12ish as prescribed.

I was one of the crawlers :( took me 4 hrs to get from Nth Manchester to Burton, slow but sure. was surprised that everyone on the roads were being sensible!
