Hi all,

I've missed my bike this week so need to get out on Wednesday. Meet 6.45 at the visitor centre car park as usual for Dalby in the snow!

Hi Karen
If we can find Chris a good headlight tomorrow afternoon - we'll be there. I'll text you around 5ish to confirm whether or not we are coming :D

Hi again all-

Ros. Don't have any spares here I'm afraid. Are you looking to buy or borrow?

I saw Dalby's Fbook status today which said this:

"Hi everyone.
It started snowing here about an hour ago and its still snowing. But it isn't the nice white fluffy snow it is the sleet so it is going to be very wet. No one has been riding the trails therefore there is no established line so it is going to be hard work, very deep, wet, mushy and slippy. Its going to be limited as to what we can actually try and ride whilst having fun! Forestry Commission has also advised us that there is NO access for emergency vehicles & as the trails are closed, we don't know what condition they are in. Best we should cancel because in all probability it would have been a wet walk with an expensive and heavy handbag :-)"

SO... not sure how much that will have changed by tomorrow. I will check in the afternoon and post again re whether it seems like a good idea or not!


Watch this space...

Hi Karen - probably looking to buy, bit of a big ask to expect to be able to borrow given the cost - me thinks :D

Await your posting re conditions of Dalby :)

Hi all, I just spoke to the man at dalby bike barn. He says the trails haven't been ridden and we are likely to be pushing through a lot of thick wet snow. He reckons it won't be a fun riding experience so I think I'll take his advice and cancel.

Sorry everyone, maybe next week!

Thanks Karen, see you next week :D

Thanks for letting us know. Very disappointing, but not keen on pushing/ carrying

Yours, Tinkywinky
