After it seeming like ages since I managed to get out and play in the outdoors I was not going to let the snow stop me. Amongst lots of New Years drinking Kelv, Pete and I managed to get two bike rides in, as nothing else took our fancy. On the 30th we managed to get around some of the loops in Beddgelert forest as most of it was below the snow line and on New Year’s Eve we had a short ride in the hills just outside Conwy. The Conwy ride was really good fun in deep snow but very hard going not being able to see what was under tyre, this seemed to lead to more time rolling in the snow, or more painfully the gorse bushes, than on the bikes. We did start to think it was not the most appropriate route choice when on our decent we went past walkers with their ice axes out! As an additional note Kelv also discovered that SPDs do not work when frozen up with compacted snow.
Kelv happy with his chocolate break.
Pete apparently enjoying himself on the Beddgelert trials.
