This morning I had an early ride and the trails were frozen. I love rides like this as the grip is incredible. You can ride up, down and across stuff that you just cannot do at other times of the year even a dry summer. Once the fun is over you can go home and put the bike away as it’ll still be clean.

However, lacking experience and sleeping in too long may cause you to wreck your lovely bike and end up with a £100 plus workshop bill. Read why in my Quest Adventure post here: Quest Adventure blog.
