A great night and morning ride was had a Gisburn.

Hoping the reports of snow have gone are true and heading up there with a mate for an evening ride, bivi, morning ride before getting home for lunch.
Wish me luck

Re: Calling Fat Bike owners
Forgot about this post, this ride is 50/50 as the wife isn't too happy about me going away for yet another weekend.
I might nip up via Uig on Skye mid week on a bit of a work/skive/work thing

Any Fat Bike bivi riders on here from the North West of England area? Bivi'ed a bit but not up to your standards, did the WRT in 2010 but always with others and I've never fancied bivi'ing on my own.

Re: I need a Plan B
It will be good to ride with you, hopefully you can give us some bivi tips before we leave.
Have you ridden Snowdon before?
I'm taking pads for the down as we arn't sure if we are going to come down the way up or down the Ranger Path.

Mid Week Work Bivi Help
I work away every 3 weeks or so and stop out on my own (sales rep), so work pays for hotels and meals etc. My question is, if I want to bivi while working away I'd feel silly just using the hotels for a shower and a change in the mornings and it's such a waste of money.
