Great run - just need to keep it up through the xmas excesses ;)
Quite a bit more snow overnight here and its coming down heavily still. Hope I can get into Skipton to start my Christmas shopping later :eek:
Yep, loads more here! ^_^Quote:

First real new snow here since last weekend - still only about 4 inches though!!:cool:
I finished work at eleven last night, and it had been snowing heavlily for about an half-an hour at a guess before i finished.
I was the first to ride on alot of the roads and it was the most amazing experience ive ever had on my bike. The flakes where huge and it was almost a white out at times.
My back wheel slid out a couple of times but other than that it was great fun.
When i got home, i pulled up the drive to see my mum, dad, grandma and dog stood waiting for me.:D
I was like a human snow man.:D
That sounds cool Al, it is always great if you are the first one through the snow :)
We had a fair bit yesterday afternoon for about an hour, but this morning the roads were clear (ish) and I have made it to Cardiff aiprot and... my flight to Edinburgh is actually going, with a 50 minute delay... Wooohoo!
Apparently, there is a lot more snow up in Scotland, so we could have some fun :)
they do but my hands are freezingQuote:

Mind the Oregon helmet/head camera looks tempting.....
Usually seen at a penny under a ton, thought of getting one when I was cycle commuting
Got to go to bed.
No TV reception due to heavy snow.
No traffic passed in last 30 minutes:)
Rain here.Quote:

Still got TV down here, traffic slowing and snow getting heavier:eek:Quote:

A good idea what small changes in altitude does to rain.
Friends house 6 miles away @ 65m = not a flake
Main town 3 miles away @ 120m = 2inch
My house @ 215m = 4 inch
Old racecourse 2 miles away @ 330m = 8 inch
Curtains open till bed time, living on a road side we still have the use of our senses. (eyes and ears help to stop us getting knocked down)Quote:

BLOODY HELL
BREAKING NEWS
4 Road cyclists just gone past going up hill:eek: Total MADNESS:o
Glorious sunshine in Darwen.
Oh no, hang on. Heavy snow.
Coming down thick in Radcliffe now.
Wasn't me!! Will be going for a little trot up the hill later though - loads of the white stuff, deeper than the pre-Christmas dumping.Quote:

Porelle Drys dug out in readyness for a snow trot. Going to take the camera up, should be an impressive wintery scene if/when it actually stops.
I dont know about anyone else but am i the only person that hates snow on the forum?
You go out on the fells and end up knee deep in drifts and cant run properley or go out on the roads and either get hit by a car or break your neck
Hate it,just as we got rid of the last lot we have a bout 4 inches in oldham again :mad:
I agree Fleeter, the novelty is beginning to wear very thin now, while the snow is growing deeper! We've had it in Teesdale for 2 weeks solid now and it's so deep on the tops that it's nearly impossible / is impossible to run in. Quads have burned out trying. Normal routes take double plus time to run. Suppose there's some super training effect, like running in deep soft sand - but you can only take so much -Quote:

Big thumbs up for Porelle Drys for running in the snow/through cold water/slush. Feet toasty after today's snowy runs but would have been numb with normal socks on. I found them in the back of a drawer the other year after enduring numb feet after a cold water/slushy run.
Snow too deep for running - then try this...:)

Had about four full days out over the holidays. All I need's one more to master the Telemark turn (sic)
Where's the best snow?
This is inspiring too:

Coming down again in South Calderdale:)
A couple of hours practising telemarking. What a joke! Finished up with a massive face plant and snow abrasion burns down one side of my face. Would've broken my specs if they hadn't been tungsten carbide memory specs too. Aching all over. :( Don't suppose I'll learn at this age. Maybe I should go on a course.
This weather is amazing, just had a look out now, completely crystal clear, blue skies, the sun beaming, and the moon is out, everything white!
Just heard this weather isn't going to change for at least 10 days, and more snow due tonight!
Took a long run over Ilkley Moor yesterday and followed a set of ski tracks from 12 apostles to Whetstone gate and then down the track towards Ilkley. Someone clearly getting in a bit of cross country skiing.
running off Ingleborough yesterday there were two guys on mountain bikes at Crina Bottom trying to remount. not sure who was the daftest. them or me. would out some pictures of Ingstelbugger on here but not sure how to get the pics on.Quote:
