Grasshopper Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Temperatures dipped down below freezing last night and there was word of snow in the hills. So after waiting for the ice to melt on our bikes we set off and had some fun. I almost dropped it when it got really snowy and the mud under the snow becomes very slippery, but managed to stayed vertical. . Then we found this awesome spot in the sun with a view. Good spot to let my fingers defrost... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
