    After all the snow it's looking like it may stay dry over Easter but only about 5 degrees C :frown:
    Anyone planning to get the bike out and brave the cold? (and salt!)
    Not decided myself yet and some of the roads I usually head up to around Derbyshire and Buxton have only just been cleared and re-opened after snow drifts.

    May have a play with my go pro camera locally and see where I can mount it on the bike. A group of us are camping out in 3 weeks time up in the Derbyshire Peaks, two days riding exploring the area: it had better warm up soon.

    Didn't bother with a ride out today, a few flakes of snow were enough to put me off. Did spend the day empting all non bike related stuff from the mancave into the shed and I am pleased to report there is now room for an extra bike :smile:
