Good frost again this morning so headed to Poolburn hoping the ice had improved. Track up was a bit gnarly and impassable from the top gate. Unloaded the eBike and headed up through the snow to the reservoir. Great fun but only got there by carefully picking my path. Ice was fantastic - new black ice that was smooth and glassy. Not thick but hard and fast giving fabulous skating. By the time I left it was cracking as things warmed up. Did I ride the bike on the ice...of course! Messy drive out in the thaw but a great skate. Visited a (new) pond in Naseby on the way home and had a bit of a creaky skate - somewhere new to skate if we get a good freeze.
