The doom-laden predictions of another harsh winter haven’t exactly come to fruition yet, but it’s definitely getting a bit nippy. When the snow does hit it’s great to be able to ditch the car and get on the bike, so here are a few snow and ice-specific bike tyres that will help you stay upright.

The Ministry of Defence will be jamming GPS / Sat-nav signals around RAF Spadeadam on the Cumbria-Northumberland boundary between 28 November and 9 December 2011.
An area within 5km (3 miles) of the military base may be affected. This is likely to affect up to 5km from Berry Hill in the Spadeadam Forest. The Hadrian’s Wall national trail to the south and open access land within the stated radius, including Side Fell to the West and White Side and Deer Hill in the Kielder Forest Park to the East.
You should not rely on the accuracy of any GPS device within this area.

I’m just back from 2 weeks’ hard riding/guiding in the Alpujarras region of Southern Spain. One of my new toys before I went was an HTC Desire smartphone. The Desire runs on Google’s Android mobile operating system which powers many of the new phone models trying to compete with Apple’s ubiquitous iPhone. What’s this got to do with mountain biking?

Put all this together and you have the potential for the ultimate navigation device.

All the routes in this book are set out with the need to plan a day's mountainbiking in mind. The grading system used was designed to help identify the routes that will suit you. Text descriptions then give a flavour of the day. These are followed by a breakdown of the route into individual waypoints. These are accompanied by their OS grid references. Physical trail descriptions of the riding between the waypoints complete the picture. A great guide book with 50 mountain bike routes in the Scottish Highlands.
