Hitting the raised white lines is a bit interesting to say the least!?!?
(20s' are all I can get on that frame, & still use mudguards)
Apologies west Yorks folk.we'll have less of that thank you , I was in the Boltmakers Arms in Keighley the other day and they did'nt seem particularly thick
If someone trips me up at the Haworth Hobble I know why.
I do like the sound of the Boltmakers Arms.
Interesting question. I suppose it depends how you define home

I was alluding to the location that you show, & presuming that (for whatever reason) you are in Wakefield to see the snowfall.
I was up Wharfedale yesterday, as from my usual haunts above Silsden I can often see Buckden Pike and Whernside...
well, they looked like they had a light dusting so I thought I'd have a plod around.
However, above the treeline it's still pretty deep up there, barely walkable in spots, never mind runnable. It snowed quite heavily whilst I was there too. Nice though, if you forget trying to run and just take it for what it is, a hard hillwalk with the odd jog thrown in.
Quite a lot of snow here in Silsden now, tonight will see me along the canal and up around Kildwick moor, methinks!
Being an old tradionalist I thought I would use this thread over that there new fangled "Light snow" thread, It's not even for today but "Tomorrow"!!!
So to put the record straight..... theres no snow here but it is cold and the sky clear
Snow has returned to West Leeds!!
and keighley
and Halifax
and Outside my door.
