Thinking about heading over to the Marin Trail tomorrow but given that a lot of trails are currently affected with the snow and ice at the moment was wondering if anyone knows what it's like on the Marin??

    Think we are just going to play it safe and have a ride round Roman Lakes instead given the forecast of Heavy Snow

    Had a cracking day off pisting on and around the Marin and Llyn Elsi today. Mostly dry with occasional light showers/snow. :P

    Thanks for that RB.

    Hope it isn't as bad as the forecast as we are heading over tomorrow for 10.30.

    Went today and i think a snowboard would of been more appropriate! Had lots of fun though and the scenery was awesome as its coated in a layer of snow and wish i had taken a camera. In some places about a foot of snow although the bikers before us had carved out a path so make sure u got some nice winter/grippy tyres and your warm gloves. Ascents(and decents unless your crazy enough :D) will be slower than usual so give some extra time for that. Road to car park was fairly icy but nobody seemed to struggle. Hope this helps to somebody wanting to go.
