Would be useful but depends if anyone can bring any, as unsure if we can source it enroute.

Sent out a rough idea of where we will go, just having to keep options open with this forecast

Not gonna make the 5pm rendezvous at the pub.
8 weeks since broken shoulder & dislocation, handling a loaded bike is hard enough, so the possibility of slippery snow added into the mix, is a step too far I think.
Catch you all next time.

Those of you out, have fun, stay safe.

We're on stand up and wait with the MRT at the moment.

Bet you're having a busy night Greg. You won't be getting a callout for the Yorkshire Winter Bivvy crowd (so that's me and Chew) - we made it as far as a pub in Bowes and are staying put for the night. Even the tracks over the moors are covered in ice and unrideable. Can't even walk on the roads and stay upright.

All back and accounted for

Good, it was frozen down to 150m last night.

Also made it home in one piece. Thanks Chew, good weekend

I have to say that we chickened out of this so plus lots of kudos to you and Chew for getting out. Probably just as well as Cath then developed a lurgy, which she still has, so she didn't get out yesterday either.
