    Was there a couple of weeks back, was in pretty good shape given the recent weather - a few patches had some snow / ice that hadn't yet melted away.

    It was great in the Sun, felt like Spring had finally started!

    Ride over Dalby every day (live in Scarborough). Been dry as a bone up there, despite the rest of the country seeing snow and rain. Been a bit of snow in the shaded areas of the trees left over from the snow we had previous to the recent spell of bad weather (can take months for snow to shift from the shaded areas of Dalby) but otherwise it's dry with the ground having occasional damp patches rather than actual mud. Rained on Friday, but it wasn't bad enough to really sink into the ground and was sunny and warm as anything on Saturday. Been pretty warm today but windy as hell in the exposed sections (probably not so bad in amongst the trees).
