Great to see a proflex still going strong. Here's a Proflex one of my riding buddies used to own, looks like a similar model.

But back to snow pics, here's a few from over the last few weeks riding

Anyone else head out with a bottle full of juice in their bike-mounted bottle cage, only to have it turn into a Slush Puppy within 30 mins?! :shock:

Had a feeling it may have been up that way. Not local, but have walked in the area a couple of years ago.

Nick, first off the picture must be already hosted on the web somewhere, i.e. you can't just upload one from your hard drive (well there are ways but lets leave that for a future lesson).

Right click the picture you want to upload and 'copy image location' to copy the image url

Go to the 'post a reply' box and click the 'Img' button which is top right of the reply box.This opens the image tag

Then right click and 'paste' which will paste the picture url

then click the '*Img' button which is top right of the reply box to close the image tag

'Submit' and hey presto!

Cheers man! It's a big rocky slaby ridge at Contin, near Strathpeffer.

Decided I'd do a bit of Road riding today (still on the MTB though).
This is the Mountain Road on the World Famous TT Course, gritters cant get up there so it stays closed until the snow melts :

View up past Windy Corner towards Snaefell



View From Kates Cottage down to The Creg


Looking out towards South Barrule Plantation

Cat With No Tail - great pics! Your bike looks so good - just a shame Crud don't do a white raceguard mount!

cat_with_no_tail

Cheers, and I agree, I thought it was stupid of them to offer a "white race Pack" then send it with black mounts.

Anyway.

Got some video uploaded to Youtube, nothing very exciting (snow tends to kill the speed).

First one is Coming back down the TT course from Kates Cottage to The Creg

Last one is a little part on my local loop. At about 1:20 my front wheel nearly washes out on some ice. Still no idea how I didn't come off. There were just these massive patches of really slick ice that just popped up all over the place since yesterday.

Seems much slippier out there today than it has been the last few days. Good fun though

Doombrain

Stupid CRWM, can't be bothered to turn it off + sh1te iphone cam

hardest 20 miles i've ever done! glad i took a flask of coffee with me

front meck froze as well, must have some water in the cabling.

singletrack is much fun++ in the snow.

neil_sheehan2000

Took these last year at Glentress. Haven't made it down there this year yet though...






V-brakes don't really work in deep snow, by the way...

The Northern Monkey

took the NS for a local trundle...

Blooooooody cold out eh?!

trekex977

Couple of pics from my ride out today. I tried overshoes for the first time and my feet were toasty the whole ride. Well impressed.

Oh.......and Bonty mud x are quality in the snow!







Pity about the fencing in this one!

Nice bike, but how did it get there (I dont see any footprints moving away), and how is it standing up?

AAAARGH! GHOST BIKE :shock:

Ashley_Smith

different type of bike but still good fun in the snow.

above freezing today (which my hands appreciated) but grim out in the sleet & slush

Somewhat a struggle around the singletrack of Swinley. Aside from the traction issues, just terrible steering
