Just for info' the roads in the sticks are treacherous. Yesterday, although clear of snow, there were still patches of black ice, especially where there is field run off. Today they are under a good coating of snow on the untreated roads where we live. Walking boots only until it thaws out.
Well, if you don't fancy the roads on Saturday, a much milder invite is extended to one and all for the Sunday ride. See other thread for details. We'll look after you.
