No snow

6am this morning saw a very heavy snow shower in Reading which looked like it might even start to settle. A well-earned lie-in was swiftly abandoned to see if the hills had caught any proper snowfall.

Sadly not. I've seen mornings where the small hills west of Caversham have had a few inches of snow despite the lower parts of the town having nothing more than slushy puddles (dodgy camera-phone photos here), but this morning they had a soggy dusting at best. The trails themselves weren't too bad, for which I was grateful having ventured out on the geared bike due to time constraints. Just not snowy. Oh well.

On an unrelated note, two weeks eating American food portions and doing no riding doesn't half eat into your fitness...
