Lots of it

Anybody up for a quick mtb ride when it stops falling? About 10 or thereabouts

It's my fault - whenever I plan a nice long ride out it rains or snows, every time without fail! Was going out to loop around Tatsfield and play on Toy Hill. Will go later if it clears, otherwise it will be the TT. Roll on proper Spring :) It is pretty though :D

I wasn't planning on riding, but how often does that happen?

Do you have a mtb at all? It's good fun in the snow. This one looks quite grippy 8)

Yep lots of it and still falling heavily. It is heavier and settling more the further South East you get as I found out going off to the SCCU Sporting 25.

Despite waking up with a sore throat and blocked nose, I had to get out :D Got a friend to (sorry) drive me up to Oaks Park where we had a walk and played with all the doggies bouncing around in the snow and chasing snowballs - stupid animals :lol:

Definitely a lot of snooooooooooooooooowwww up there this morning :D

Looks like great fun Sylv, I'd love to have joined you for a short spin in the snow but you'd probably have left by the time I got back from the cancelled TT.
The first photo is really nice, very Ansel Adams (apart from the bike).

Nah, just fun loving. Two of my faves with our(family) dogs has been to get them crouching waiting for you to throw a stick etc, then bury them in it so just their head pokes out. They're so focused they don't care, then explode out of it when you throw the stick :) . Also you can't beat throwing it behind you and then running round the corner. As they chase you and slip on the bend you get the full cartoon whirling legs moment and rally drift :lol: .

Fab pics :D We played in the snow but had to make so with the TT for training as my time out was going to be early morning. Two hours on the thing - that took some willpower (helped by Dr Who in i-player)

Thankfully the digital camera was handier than a medium format in those conditions :)
