I will be around the wyre from 11-00ish till 2ish. Shout hello when you past me. I am easy to spot rather large thistle tattoo on my calf kind of gives me away.

I could ride at 1pm, but I need to be home no later than 3pm, so if anyone else is riding on Sunday morning, then give us a shout.... 🙂

For others of us, the Wyre Forest is local, so we're still going if anyone wants to join us.

Lickeys had about 12" in places, roads to it were awful to ride on, off road was hard work but a lot safer

I think Mick is safe. Either that or he's frozen to death looking like a **** in his Santa suit !
How hard going was the snow ? My legs feel like I've done 100 miles this weekend !

The main roads are ok, Clent side roads are compacted snow, with some ice, and a little more snow on top. Temp much higher and a bit of a thaw going on here in Stourbridge . Should be fine for later. We've ridden the hills in worse

Nice pics Mick

After drinking the Stella (minor 'pep' I would normally rate that as), a much more storming pep of your Rum - see hip flask left dwarfing mine pic right), I was feeling... well not so bothered about my finger pain on the merry way home 🙂 Merry Chrimbo
