Anyone planning to get out and ride in the snow tomorrow?

Is anyone else planning to get out and have a ride in the snow tomorrow?

I'm going to Cannock and can't wait...I'm properly excited. I think it will be my first proper ride in real snow. Planning to get there pretty early.

I went out for a bit on the Tazer today and had a right laugh...jumping in the snow is awesome fun! Railing berms is interesting though and High Rollers suck in the snow.

Sheeeit, I finish work in an hour and am toying with a cheeky night ride with a hip flask. Just don't know if enthusiasm will last once I get Ito the warmth of home.

I'm toying with the idea of doing The Verderers!

It's fun until you fall off for the 100th time. Snow and ice are not my friends.

Do it...you'll avoid a ball, it's bloody hard work riding through snow though.

That's all part of he fun! I had an ace slam today...I was jumping a sketchy little jump into a bomb hole, which was fine despite a few hidden ruts. There is then a little berm at the bottom.

This berm proved to be the most problematic thing, especially after it'd been identical for a bit and the snow compacted. Too fast, too high up the berm, no grip and some hidden logs, bumps meant the bike stopped whilst I continued. Straight over be bars with a Diabolus stem to the knees! I saw the funny side though and lay in the snow laughing.

The hidden puddles are funny too....looks smooth, the ice cracks and the front wheel disappears!

I can't wait or tomorrow. It's still snowing now, it hasn't stopped all day. Tomorrow is gonna be ace. Although I'm gonna freeze as my tights ended up in a bag if stuff accidentally given to a charity shop, so it'll be shirts all the way for me!

planning to ride in the snow in the next days - currently we have 50+ cm of snow - hope it will look like that from previous year(s):

Good effort, glad to see that people are planning to get out and about.

Hopefully if it keeps falling. I love riding in the snow. Will change the pedals though from clipless to flats as if you do hit a bit of ice the speed of sudden snap is too fast to unclip.
