Today's Ride

[mk one]

Very cold today, the wind was cutting through everything.

Quite a contrast again, though its been snow in the hills , it has been warm and starting to dry here.

Went for what was originally going to be a long easy ride, turned out quite hard going, so ended up making it a bit shorter, the legs were really heavy and the snow still soft so quite hard going, constant pedaling. It was though, great fun, if the toes were forgotten about that is

A few people out but no other bikes.

Snowtastic ride.

Re:

Great pics. It's far too icy for running or road cycling at the moment and the rest of the fleet are dismantled so I'm beginning to go stir crazy. Fingers crossed it melts soon. We're hitting -6 tomorrow which is unheard of down these parts. Looking out the window now, it's proper "up north" snow.

It doesn't stop Cooper from loving it - snow and ice are a winning combo; it freezes mud into a "delicious" snack :facepalm:

Re:

Icy, dicey, snow and bleakness. Scarcely any need for a colour photo this time. A short ride.

Found two roads I could run on this morning; 5 laps, 7 miles, feel much better!

Cold today, though the blue skies and sun made for another beautiful day.

Tired again today, the tops are still full on winter conditions so still making the most of that. Long 5 1/2 hr climb/walk yesterday, the snow on the tops was knee deep, thats on the tracks, the drifts were up to waist deep and if you strayed off the tracks you find some really deep holes. The weather was sunny as it has been for a while now so made for a fantastic day. Once my phone decides to play ball i will upload a pic or two.

Anyway, today here it had snowed again last night, but the sun had melted a lot of it by mid morning when i set off, it was nice in the sun but damn cold, even pedaling constantly, but the upside was a lot of the mashed up from the rain ground was hard. After dinner the clouds rolled in briefly and dumped a load more snow but the sun is back out now.

Some great trails today, no one about apart from a couple of dog walkers, which is unusual, especially on such a fine day, oh, there were a couple of fishermen fishing in the small part of a lake that was in the sun and had melted, im sure they were feeling the cold as they are just sat in it, not really an action sport.

Great ride again.

Thanks, it was a beautiful day.

Both pictures are from the top of kinder. The first looking SE down Grindsbrook Clough over the Edale valley, and over to the end of Mam Tor Ridge (Lose Hill) and then Win Hill. The second is further West along the edge, looking S over to Dale Head and Rushop Edge.
