You wont see me, snow chance! Barely got home tonight, car parked miles away...don't fancy a night in Ticknall although a lock in might be nice...provisional yes for the crimbo ride, weather dependant!

Tonight's ride is off Rob (rc200ti) believes the roads to be impassable - I'll take his word for it!!

That makes me feel less gutted! Is that the first ever full cancelation?

 

[rc200ti]

We think so

It's just so varied. Nothing in Nottingham. 50mm snow, black ice and stationary traffic in Ashby. What's really gaulling is that Robin Wood will be absolutely brilliant. Still, if it keeps cold until the weekend there may be a chance then.

We've got 8-10cm now...and my bloody school will still be open tomorrow!

good call - we had next to nothing in Nottingham, but in Derby we have 4 inches :shock:

got home no problem though

Cycled to work on the Karate Monkey today not realising as soon as you leave Derby there's no snow to speak of :evil:

Bit tired of spinning now :evil:

So, Tues 21st, we can discuss next week, but shall we attempt to make arrangements here?

Are we saying go straight to food, no ride? Where are we eating?

Could we start ride earlier and eat after? I can be there (wherever 'there' is!) for 5.30.

20cm here by this afternoon...and reached 18mph sledging down the road!

Likely to have to book, so perhaps best to do this first, and fit in a ride if possible. Happy to go anywhere really. There is the curry pub in Melbourne (Derbyshire :roll: ), which I've never been to I have to admit, but it is only a couple of miles from Ticknall and would probably work well with our post-ride informal look.

sounds good to me!
