Well Rob and I have managed to get out over the holidays an after xmas trip down to zig zag hill.......those bends are bloody tight. Then we had a local run out in the sun just 40 miles round some local roads but it was a good start to the new year.

Anyone else managed to get out and brave the cold?

I went to Swansea for Christmas by bike and got out a couple of times - Gower has some fantastic scenery, but it was just too cold and icy to risk any interesting roads. I'm looking forward to a return visit in warmer weather - perhaps we can do a group ride to Verdi's (http://verdis-cafe.co.uk/) to meet the Knab Rockers (http://knab-rockers.tripod.com/) one Sunday.

Still, the winter light made some moody photos.

Great pics. Gower has some good rides but it gets a bit crowded in the summer.

very scenic....by the way happy new year to u xxAnd to you! Hope to see you soon.


Excellent pics, Did you have a wooden hut to yourself?I don't think I could afford one - I hear that leases for similar huts in Langland (the next bay along from these at Oxwich) go for more than £12,000 :o
