ouch @danstuff too bad... hope you're OK... your Saturday ride looks awesome, would love to do that some time when I get to the UK
I did 2 MTB rides (part of a huge event with 1000s of riders on both road and trails) this weekend together with my brother and two mates as training for L'Eroica in the hilly south of NL. Quite a contrast between the two days; Sat 26 deg C dry trails and sunny, Sun 17 deg C and bloody wet, pedalling through paths turned into streams and slipping & sliding out of control many times even at walking pace... and we got to ride through the marl stone grotto inside the Cauberg (world road championships 2012 finish)
I hadn't switched the rigid fork I use for the mostly flat, sandy and smoothish trails around where I live for the Fox suspension one, and although there were some pretty rough downhills, I didn't really miss it, surprised about that.
