Problem with that quad is the chain / derailleur dragging in the snow.

Short cage derailleur fitted since that was taken.
Seldom get enough snow for that to be a problem nowadays though.

Fit a long cage to bring the snow back tomorrow?

The recent cold snap may have passed, but just in case it returns and anyone's looking for appropriate mods ...

Nice with the sun out today, chilly in the shade though.

Just a bit jealous of riding in that I’ll be honest.

A tad cooler today, had to warm my water bottle to make sure it didn’t freeze…

Chuffing salty on the road as well

I used to love to ride on frosty mornings, but a couple of painful, shoulder-damaging tumbles over the past couple of years on unsighted slippery patches has cured me of that. I don't bounce like I used to. Nevertheless I braved the risks to capture this wintery image on a lane near Wartling, East Sussex.

I can relate. I was recently the recipient of a mild shoulder separation, aka AC joint sprain. a cpl inches of fresh powder compacted in my tread rendering my studs irrelevant. normally I'm moving slowly in these conditions but I was just picking up speed down a hill at about 10mph. the worst of it is, I knew better

outstanding!
