I've been tinkering with my bike and achieved next too naff all that I wanted.
All packed up, bike sleeping in the house so I don't have to mess with the garage for a quick exit in the morning.
Still debating what layers to go with as I tend to get more cold from sweating inside out.

i make that 10 of us now. as its going to be a cold day, i'd recommend taking something to keep you warm for if we're standing around (mechanicals, punctures) like a warm dry layer, beanie hat and spare pair of gloves.a bigger rucksak is needed tomorrow me thinks.

Good pics Gaz, I like the first two, can just make me out at the bottom after sliding sideways down the the loose chute. Great day in the saddle lads, good laugh and amazing luck with no break downs between us. No falls either can't bad (this may be a fib). I only managed a few dodgy pics being too busy either breathing out of my arse or being Guinea pig for Glynns earth slides. Here they are for what it's worth. Mr no fitness blasting up another climb.  Glynn on the same climb.  Gabe on the same climb, lots of variety here I know.  Icey grass, fields, lovely views, priceless, crappy phone not priceless £15 from amazon.  |

I think I recognised the short descent in these photos that was thick with snow when you went hurtling down,clipped in,totally out of control but managed to save it and finished with a dead cool old skool skid  |

I mentioned it to the others when I made it to the bottom unscathed. It was funny yesterday flipping ice was scary in places |
