Planned a overnighter to Mosedale Bothy but thigh high snow at Sadgill meant we had to change our plans and a 5 star barn was found. Slept into 8.30am after a few beers and conditions were full on wintery so a very rideable climb up Garburn from Kentmere Hall was the first hill of the day. Met a couple of STWers on the descent did not put them off going off and told them Garburn was riding well on semi phat 🙂
Loop over Elterwater and the grippy snow turned to filthy slush so a hard ride back was the order of the day and a short cut using the ferry back to Kendal

I won't bore everyone by posting again but my pics ( and a few others ) are on the ' where are you riding this weekend ' thread which is slowly dropping off the radar ..

whoops sorry mods please burn my thread then again where are you riding and what you actually did could have been totally different due to the weather 🙂
No pics sadly, but practicing technique in south wales yesterday, and a very cold, wet, snowy and muddy upllift at Hopton today.
Snowy jaunt round the woods having dug the BFe out of the garage again. Lovely where sheltered, horrible in the wind.

Also spent a cold and sweary 20 minutes putting a tube in since the stroppy Chunky Monkey I put on the front yesterday just wouldn't hold air tubeless (had already given up on the Smorgasbord on the rear and put a tube in after failing to get it to anything like seal in the garage).

I heard Whinlatta had had loads of fresh snow 🙂
Saw some fat bike tracks on top of Blencathra yesterday - anyone from here?
Took the boys out for a quick play round Linn park.
