Baz arrived even earlier than usual this morning, 10 past 5 am , luckily I was up but not in complete control of all my faculties! We set off from the bottom of Glentress at 6.15 am and were a fair bit up before we ran into snow but it got steadily deeper all the way up to the top of the black run. There must have been another couple of inches last night on top of some from last week with the odd bit of ice thrown in just to catch us out. (Which it did occasionally!)
We came back down the red route which was equally tricky at the top end of the run but as we got lower the snow just disappeared.
Today's average speed must have been the slowest for some time but we'll put that down to conditions and not our fitness!
At the finish my bike computer read 21.5 miles and Baz's heart monitor gave a reading of over 3000 calories burned so that cream and jam pancake I had yesterday was well and truly burnt off!!
Some of the pictures below give an idea of the conditions today.....

lots of snow sounds good right now, all we have on the mendip hills is two feet of mud!
