Snow

The best Saturday so far this year. Sunny but cold with I little slush on Strines.
No wind to speak of, which welcome after the dangerous winds of last week.
an amazing view greeted us at the top of Strines. A dusting of snow with the sun coming up over the moors.
There was an abandoned car on the descent to Ladybower and the cold air stung my face. Today's route was straight to Cromford on the main road to avoid any ice on the back roads.
Great cafe at Cromford. After that it was up Via Gellia, another favorite before Bakewell and back along the Hope Valley the way we came. 70 and a beer stop at the Nags.

The weather turned very cold over the weekend. Sunny and bright but plenty of ice riding out of Strines.
Blind Petes water bottle froze before we got to Bamford so a cafe stop in Hathersage seemed a good idea. Get a coffee and wait for the world to warm up.
After that we ride to Abney and over the gliding club. On a clear day you can see five counties from the ridge.
Bit of a loop round Strines before heading to the Nags for a beer and a warm by the open fire.

Pete came down on tram lines at Hilsborough on his way home. Only 3rd outing for his new bike too. I don't know of a rider who hasn't fallen foul of those nasty things. Still, nothing broken just a few scratches.
