PTW

Ok, so I'm getting very frustrated. Over the past few weeks, I 've managed 1 myb ride, which was sketchy to say the least in places, but I've not ventured out on the road. Am I the only one who thinks it suicide out there at the moment? The middle of the roads are Ok, but the edges are really bad. I've not used a turbo soo much in my life.

I am equally frustrated. Sick of all this snow and ice now.

What's a turbo?

Beat me to it Alf, might be something to do with a vacuum cleaner,as our,s says turbo on the front(according to the wife)

ah go stand in a bucket of cement and harden up and man up

Gambo, what do you mean, it wasn't icy at all on that MTB ride (tee hee!)

Gambo, MTB ride from 'Barry sidings' which is between Trehafod and Pontypridd on Sunday at 9.45. Should be about 10 people out!

Actually, I got fed up of heeding advice to "stay in unless your journey is absolutely vital for the future of humanity, you reckless, reckless people" and went up our local hill this afternoon, on my touring bike. Took these photos about half past three nearly 1000ft up. Not many cars up there!!


Pen y banc farm, the last inhabited outpost. The ice on the road is about 2 inches thick.


The er 'Black' Hills, looking rather white.



The way back down. It's actually about six miles back to the house, and it was getting dark fast.

The bike: the perfect winter travel solution
Pity about all that grit they keep spreading

Roads aint that bad !!! lmao !! been out done nearly 7 hours riding all together this week after work !!!

Ok, looks like i'm a big girls blouse. Best get myself out there.
