The aptly named Winter Hill in south Lancashire today.

On Arrival...

It was still very overcast and freezing (0 deg C/32F)

Bike had a clean and lube over the Christmas New Year period due to weather preventing a ride...

First climb up the private (snow and ice covered) road/track up to the top of Winter Hill (1500ft/454m) looking south at a watery sun peeking through so lined it up with the transmitter and snapped it.

Did a couple of runs around Rivington Pike/Pigeon Tower/Gardens etc. before another ascent of Winter Hill to finish off before a descent back to car. Pic of the northerly view up towards Blackburn/Burnley/Pendle.

Bike stayed pretty clean, just a quick wipe down on arriving home.

Good to see your heart rate is not a straight line???. I got the Apple Watch too. How’d you take that pic?

The two lower ones (map and stats) are from the Apple Fitness App on the iPhone (synchronized with the Watch). To take a screenshot on an iPhone you just get what you want on screen and press Vol+ and the Power button at the same time. It saves it to your Photos album.
 
57.00 km loop. Really nice cool stress relieving ride. Mix of bike path, snowy trails, mtb trail and road. The mtb trail had some black ice spots so took it slow and skipped most of it. Average around consistent -3°c so pretty comfortable run.

Nice Merida :)
 
Yes sure is a lot of fun. Not visible in the picture but it was raining. And then with drops on your glasses, the vision is not perfect.

If you do this, get good lighting!
