Haha seriously though as much as it'll piss me off missing the Saturday ride I'm gonna have to make a judgement call in the morning on the weather. I don't mind rain but the forecast has snow and bad driving condition the entire way of our journey at the moment.

It's horrendous.

I remember the last time I rode in snow.

PJ · April 28, 2016, 10:10:04 PM

I do too, but it wasn't on the ground thankfully lol

It's looking likely I'll be coming up in the car at the moment.

Pussy 😉

Perhaps! But I don't fancy doing 140miles to the meeting point on my own in snow and sleet and rain with little idea where the fuck I'm going :-p

Tiiimmmaaayyyy · April 28, 2016, 10:26:00 PM

Only 140? Luxury

PJ · April 28, 2016, 10:26:50 PM

I'll see what it's like in the morning but it's not looking like weather I fancy that length of ride in!

no snow on the a1 north of wetherby , although the m62 was pretty rough last night

Al and Iain are heading up by car so I made the choice to drive as I didn't feel confident getting to the lunchtime meeting spot on my own on potentially crap weather.

Me and Steff will be on our way up soon.

Carter bar on the A68 is only passable with care at the moment. Stay safe all.

What a lovely journey it has been, I mean I got to see some beautiful snow covered scenery in those moments I could see lol, Also had better be getting the coffee in

Overall had some good moments, some very very cold ones and a bloody puncturing a week old tyre Grrrr but I am here ably supported by Timmmaayyyy especially as he didn't do a runner whilst I got my tyre sorted..

Home safe and sound, another great turn out and thankfully less eventful than the last 2 years:-)

After Friday's snow showers and heavy heavy rain at the border on the a1, the rest of the weekend has been great:-)
Love that view over rannoch with the snow on the tops

Beers, food, and piss taking top class

Thanks to everyone

Great turnout given challenging conditions / forecast but as usual the Saturday weather was glorious - Looked stunning
