Went for a Spin on the bike in the snow...
 

As it's been looking like this around here for a couple of weeks

I decided to get my bike out and traverse these hills

looks very cold to me!!

Great shots, but I still think you are a nutter going out in that weather.

I thought it would have been your DRZ! Almost as mad riding up there on MTB's, you must be quite fit!

Lovely views too, the fields of unbroken snow are beautiful.

I wish the whole country was hilly. It's beautiful to live somewhere like that, but in my profession there just such a price to pay in terms of the amount of travel time you have to put in to get in and out of such places. Would often mean leaving the evening before and staying in a hotel near to my customer, so I can be there at a suitable time the next day.

Ace, I did this a few years ago, me and my mate went for a ride in the snow

Had a great laugh & best of all feck all cars on the road bits.

Looks like you wouldn't have had any 4 wheel pests on your ride LP :p

Yeah, these guys that drive over that kind of countryside in four wheelers, real pests aren't they LP :smt005

Have you been out on the DRZ? I've been seriously tempted to get out on the XT, but thought to best to get some off road experience before tackling green lanes covered in snow.
