I tried to follow a sportive I'm doing on the push bike end of the month, but the sat nav didn't like it when I didn't go down a cycle path and wouldn't let me rejoin further along.

 

So I decided just to go ride around trough of Bowland, Chipping, Lancaster, Wray and over White hill ( love that road/track) into slaidburn and back home via Sawley and Bury

 

Started snowing just as I got back home, result

At least you managed to get a selfie mid way through the accident, or was the phone the wrong way up?

Look a nice spot for a tootle. :good:
