There isn't much chance that's going to clear in three weeks is there. Need some heavy rain.

Four days of snow forecast over the weekend ! It was still good fun some brave people were even having a go in the bike park. I might be able to make the Saturday now but not 100% certain yet, I am not the quickest up the hills despite me doing it every week !

Snow will be interesting with my rapid rob tyres :O They go stupid in the rain, never mind snow. :/

Need a Scottish heatwave!

Glentress is so busy it will probably be well ridden in. I wouldn't worry about it.

Ichabod Crane might need 2 pairs of his long socks!

Looks like we are going skiing

Andelusion · 21 Mar 2013 at 19:22

Was it this time of year when we camped and were sweating cobs putting the tent up?!

Nah I think that was May/June we went back again a few weeks after the April trip.

I'll be out of this due to a walking axe wound changing days about so I'm busy on Sunday. Will be working Saturday too.

I'm off all this week and next weekend and there is snow.....everywhere.

I should be ok for this but after a heavy night on the beers last night, slipped on the bathroom floor this morning and smacked my head and ribs on the way down! Got painkillers for my ribs but should be ok to ride again in next 10 days or so. More snow mind you at the moment!

Looks nuts, whats the plan if its still like that in two weeks time?

booyaka · 26 Mar 2013 at 13:21

More snow for next 3/4 days. Will keep you posted, a fair few people I know on another forum live close by and said they will keep me updated on conditions!

Supercow · 26 Mar 2013 at 13:32

Postpone tbh

will see what next 3-4 days brings as the temps are due to go up a bit despite more snow.

Dangerous Dave · 26 Mar 2013 at 15:10

I am heading down of Friday and Wednesday/Thursday next week so I can provide some updates on the trail conditions.

Reckon it;s going to be pretty gash regardless

ichabod crane · 26 Mar 2013 at 18:23

Its only a bit of snow.

meths · 27 Mar 2013 at 10:37

I'm not coming down on the Saturday unless there's a major thaw by the weekend which looks doubtful according to last night's weather report.

My tyres can hardly handle a little bit of muck never mind two feet of snow.

Caseh · 27 Mar 2013 at 10:38

I'll be going down whatever the weather, as long as Andelusion is going..
