Tried to ride around there many moons ago and in similar conditions...I think we were aiming for Jacob's Ladder and into Edale. Parked the car. Assembled bikes. 'Rode' about 20 yards and thought, 'Fk it!? Pub?'
tough going in most conditions tbf. Jacobs ladder is just to the right in the second pic, went down there and back along to Edale.
Re:
The wind-chill this morning was straight out Nordic. Proper brass monkey but got a solid hour run in. That sun-rise...oh my. For about 20 seconds it was almost blood red, then went vaporwave aesthetic for 5 minutes like this before turning bright orange. Lovely stuff!

We seem to have missed the snow and chaos out here, it's chuffing cold on the bike though!
The mainland hills look fab across the Minch, but as always, my phone camera doesn't do the distant view any justice whatsoever!
I want some snow to pedal though!! (stamps frozen feet!)

Repack Rider
Senior Retro Guru
This thread was started by "FairfaxPat," AKA my longtime friend Pat Reddix. He left the trails a couple of years ago, and now he has a memorial in the Fairfax town park, purchased by his friends and family.
The bench has a small plaque that will keep his memory alive.

Re:
Absolutely brilliant - really pleased it's been put together. Not sure he'd spend too much sitting on it though
Perhaps we can petition to get a plaque on the magic bridge as well
First ride in over a week so the legs couldn't contain themselves. A roasting 8 degrees with a mild breeze. Very grey as shown here; just a sliver of a sun-rise on top of Well Hill before the shoot down under the M25 to Shoreham.
