hippy-
Just up into the peaks on the very edge of Sheffield. First mile of riding was sketchy as fuck as there was a ton of black ice even on the bridleways. I was contemplating turning back when I reached the point where fresh snow had fallen and it was a much grippier. Glad I persisted as it was well worth it.
Big improvement on the last time I tried to head into the peaks when it had snowed and I hit a patch of black ice when crossing a stream and took a slow comedy tumble into the water.

Think this morning’s ride might be my favourite ever ride. It wasn’t big, it wasn’t fast, but the novelty and aesthetic of it was fucking amazing.
