Can't see one started, so I'll kick off ...

Filthy trails in North Leeds, but F### it! Went riding anyway! 36km on the SS HT.

I pushed up the Yat:
Very slushy on the lower plateau

Extremely windy on the top:

But with some decent snow on the descent. Taken very slowly:

Had to push across the lower plateau on the way down. I only treat myself to the tourist route in snowy conditions as normally the descent is as dull as.

Good fun 🙂

Looks great up there. Probably better than going down through witches right now though.

No riding for me yet. Just more storm damage clearing.
Should get out tomorrow and Sunday though.

60k club Herts gravel ride on my MTB today. It was ok until the heavens opened...

...and then it got very cold. Still, good to be out.

First ride on the new frame in somewhat challenging conditions. Loved it though 🥳

For the first time in 3 months, mrs_oab felt well enough for a proper ride or walk. Too icy for a ride, so we went to stretch the legs.

Not quite hill tops, and she was slow, but cracking day for it.

The theme of this weekend was climbing over/around/through downed trees on the Surrey hills. Slow! Mess everywhere, quite sad really.

@sandwich.
I'm fortunate enough to live near some of the best trails in the UK.
Helping keep them clear is a very small price to pay for that.
