Near the top of the quali track for last years Megavalanche.

It was -4 in the lift station a few hundred meters below. It was blowing a gale & not far from a blizzard.

I was struggling to enjoy it at this point.

Got up on Dartmoor a bit late today so the half inch of snow wasn't enough to freeze the three inches of bog
Underneath. Looked pretty though.

Whole millimetres of the white stuff in Hampshire. First ride on the bargain bin CX bike, singletrack was hilarious fun.

Pentlands on Friday. It was mostly frozen snow crust/frozen mud and some powdery snow on less travelled paths - which was great. I was up there again today walking and it was sheets of glassy ice on all the paths lower down.
