Description

We’ll all recall last December I’m sure. When the snow fell to a depth of 5-6 inches or so my road bike was frustratingly confined to barracks but the mountain bike offered some prospect of freedom and so it was that, wrapped up against not only the considerable cold (down to -10°c on our outside thermometer) and, perhaps, against the risk of a fall, I embarked on a memorable series of truly wintry rides into the countryside surrounding my West Lancashire home.
