FiveTen is doing a "Winter Catch Up" series, starting with Sam Dale. Good quality photos and an interesting look at riding in Macclesfield Forest in the UK.

  Sam and his Dad have a healthy obsession for anything 2 wheels.

  The following day Sam was heading to a Moto Trial. Here, he uses a tech hill climb as a descent.

  Flat pedal power. Sam Dale chooses to ride flats 9 out of 10 times, swapping to clipless when he feels he needs it.

  It’s not that grim up North, honest.

I take it the weather in the UK is similar to it is here on the Shore in the winter: dark and gloomy a lot of the time. What's your winter training ground?

yup! just got back from a night ride on local trails here in NW London, UK - its -1 degrees C and looks like snow is coming, but its dry and crisp (the mud is frozen) so no complaints from me :)

Awesome! We've just had a four day streak of dry weather so the Shore trails are prime right now!

the weak of FiveTen's shoes is the permeability.
Are those winter 5.10 waterproof?
