Sun 1st Feb Greystoke - Caldbeck Ride Cancelled

I have done a recce of the roads around Greystoke and Caldbeck and they are not suitable for a Group ride. The treated roads B5299 to Hesket Newmarket, the B5305 and the Durdar - Ivegill road are fine but the side roads still have compacted snow and ice in sections sometimes making even walking difficult. Light snow is forecast at mid-night on Saturday and -1oC at 09.00 so untreated roads will be hazardous .
I plan to ride to the Coral Room Cafe (Alt Cafe stop) from Dalston via Durdar, Junction 41, Stoneybeck Roundabout and the A6.
I am giving you early notice of the ride cancellation in case any of you have more favourable weather or a more optimistic forecast, and want to make your own arrangements.
