Went for a ride at the 2014 Commonwealth Games MTB Course at Cathkin Braes today - in several inches of snow - wasn't too good for a recce really, as I couldn't see how the ground was bedding in after all the grass cutting! Plenty of people are walking the line of the course now though, which will help.
A couple of observations about riding in snow though - a singlespeed is definately not the right tool for the job (nice and light for pushing mind you), and Ice-Spiker tyres work well in snow as well as ice - traction where you never expected it!
Still, great views though - name a landmark and it could be seen!
