Kids off school so was planning a run round the blue. Is it covered in snow though ?

Did the red yesterday and the blue today and from Buzzards nest up has a good covering of snow. The trails in the trees are reasonably clear but anything in the open has up to 2 inches of snow. It was better today as it was fresh and grippy. Yesterday was a bit of a nightmare and spooky wood took ages to get down - couple of mates came of about 5 times each! Its all ridable pretty much and a good sketchy laugh! More snow forecast tonight so could be a bit hard work in some places. Def feeling it tonight.

Aye. Maybe not ideally for little ones at the moment. Below the Buzzards Nest is pretty clear though.

Was gonna go to Glentress today, but sacked it after the snow overnight. Didn't want to drive for an hour and a half to find a lot of it unrideable. Went to Cathkin instead, decent covering of snow, but all rideable. Had a good comedy off into the mud too.

Citizeninsane - yeah, Cathkin was good yesterday, packed which is a good sign. Rock sections were tricky in true snow 🙂
