Vin's chat

I bought a ticket in advance, although looking at the weather forecast I'm not sure how I'm going to get there :| as I had planned on doing the CR and then getting a few miles in between the cafe and the talk, anyone know a simple MTB route to Leigh :P ?

Rode down the A25 this morning and all the roads off to Leigh looked well dodgy to me Andrew, I just stayed to the A23, 25, 24, 23 for a digit numbing cold ride today :shock:

I'm not riding there on the road with the weather the way it is due to be this week, just hoping it doesn't get too bad so I can at least get there in a car. Metcheck's saying some light snow showers during the week and temperatures of -5 to -15 :shock: . I'm going to have to get the bloody turbo out the garage at this rate :x , take me an hour to get all the dust off it.

Frozen ground?

Sounds like another mountainbike clubrun to me.
