Epping Forest Autumn Radness!

Yep, they're the ones!

Assume you are all still alive and not covered in poo on fire in a ditch in the forest?

In sympathy I killed two pairs of superstar kevlar pads

No, but some people almost got swallowed whole by the bog of eternal stench....

Any photos of that? That was ridiculous!

No, unfortunately. I was too busy laughing to take photos. There were so many moments worthy of capturing. It was a classic day. :-)
I never would have thought that such horrible conditions could be so much fun.

It was a fine turnout despite the weather, and a great show of enthusiasm from all the riders. Very impressed with those battling the mud on cross bikes especially.

Thanks BN for organising

SSCX especially,especially <3

It was mega lols on a ssxc. Would have liked to gear down a little but was pretty pleased the way I got around.

Boast post!

I'm in pain, my bike is broken but worst of all my waffa is dirty...DIRTY I TELL YOU!!!

my bike is broken

Waht?!

20 minutes with a dry toothbrush and it's ready to ride again.

just did mine, surprisingly free of gritty bearing noises !

lets do it again !

Yes!

Despite my shoes still not being completely dry, I'd quite like to do another.

Kaputt, kaputter, am Kaputtesten.

Pls

Could maybe do Friday?

Saturday, I know a few of you will be at the Raphacross, so that's no good.

Sunday.... dunno.

I resorted to putting mine in the oven on low... 😳

I will do Friday

Jealous of y'all with the slacker miles

Ok then, looks like Friday is on.

BB, brakes, chainring and my half-link chain, the bike was barely rideable and it was worse to even stop the bike! But after a quick service and upgrade parts, the new gal is good as new! =)

The forest gods are forever demanding upgrades.

Is that all the damage you had? Welcome to the 'cross life, death to drive trains, death to brakes, death to wheels, death to grip and long live dirt.

Haha! Wheels will probably be next ;)
