On the way down, putting on a brave face around 3pm, freezing cold in the wind, rain, hail and poor visibility !!! A little slippery on a road bike especially on the broken tree spines.....God, you can't beat the british weather lol.

 Cwmcarn in the winter is worse than a SAW movie bro lol! Wait till we get the snow, then they lock the mountain down through black ice on the roads and snow, no one about, just you and the mountain, all to yourself, no bikers and just locals walking their dogs.... then it's time to huck the Intense up there for some fun, fun, fun !!!! Yes, ask him what's the best pads for my fat arse winter rides?
