Royal Dean Forest Cycling Club didn't let the blanket of snow that came down last weekend put them off.

When most were out sledging or building snow men, the intrepid cyclists of RDFCC ploughed through the snow around the Forest in the Parkend, Coalway and Cannop area.

It wasn't just the seasoned veterans doing battle with the snow on the forest tracks, the youth section got out and had fun in the white stuff.

RDFCC have a strong youth section, with rides starting at Dean Forest Cycles every other Sunday at 9.15am, all abilities welcome. See http://www.rdfc.org.uk">www.rdfc.org.uk for details.
