Sean Barker Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Meeting as usual at the car park of the forest pub. Lickey End for a 9:30 departure. With the mercury unlikely to climb above 0 and the distinct possibility of snow on the ground, this Sunday’s ride would appear to be in serious jeopardy. I’ll get out on my mountain bike if the weather is particularly inclement but a lot will depend on what the weather holds and what you guys are likely to be doing. .

DaveM Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's going to be late Saturday before I make a decision. I have a serviceable MTB I could use if madness should overcome me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Well the snow came down heavy last night and looks like it’s down for a day or two. I’ll be changing the tyres on the mountain bike today back to the heavy duty steel studded snow tyres in readiness for some snow action this weekend.

Sean Barker Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well that was fun. Not surprisingly I didn't see any other cyclists but I thoroughly enjoyed the days cycling. A few adrenaline rushes such as going into a skid but managing to regain control but the best was probably a couple of steep downhill sections where I would pick up some speed and know that to touch the brakes would only end in disaster, still as you pass the speed that you are comfortable on and are still accelerating is a real rush. Still all’s well that ends well. Is it me or is it cold today? The lanes weren’t too bad at all today. A few icy patches if you looked real hard. Now I know that there is a road here somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Barker Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 1 1/2 hours. I would really struggle with that, any more than half an hour and boredom overwhelms me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
