The biking is dead, long live the skiing!

With the end of muddy conditions and wearing lycra in the UK its time to say goodbye from Chainmark for a little bit: Some snow cover is here in France so its ski touring time: A Bientôt! See you soon!

UK Riding in the Forest of Dean I've been in the UK for a few weeks now and have ridden some of the classic loops that Herefordshire, Shropshire and other locations have to offer.
