This was near bottom of a 1,800' descent. Where my pal is, the path drops off edge of the cliff. Was scary the last bit. Very steep. Had to manhandle and lift the bikes around obstacles.

Then we saw a couple of pals who were going up it. But they're younger, fitter, better and dafter

Today’s ride was primarily to get some new tyres, but I took the opportunity to put a few miles into scrubbing them in.

Still a shade too cold for me though, once above about 50 the wind chill was too much for my current gear and the experience was no longer much fun.

Cold little run over the Long mynd, Shropshire hills today. Saw pony's having a good munch. Lovely view's up there. About 60 miles all done. Mixed weather, cold sun, cold snow and some cold hail.
