I literally haven't bothered posting this as the whole weekend was the worst biking experience i've ever had. On the Saturday heading up there I got caught out in blizzard conditions, freezing cold and then riding (lost!) with the wrong gear on and I was in real trouble. Hypothemia was definately hitting me as I couldn't do simple maths in my head and I was really starting to panic.
The day itself was in snow! It was freezing ruddy cold and I then had a 6 hr journey home in sub zero temps which was another horrible ordeal that wasn't just bad but actually really dangerous.
One for the books and one to forget! On the plus side though, I was passing track bikes which were wearing full wets and I was blipping past the outside on my road tyres
The amount of twitches and spin ups I had was pretty scary too but I certainly earned some stripes that weekend!
Need to get another one booked in and hopefully the weather wont be so crap!
