Badgers in heat - Epping Forest Summer rides

Are these routes do-able on a cross bike?

Very much so. @Ramsaye actually prefers to use as CX bike there, rather than his MTB

I mean, he might just possess rad skills, but.....

Yep! I'll be doing it fixed on my CX bike.

[edit oh BN got there first]

Yep, so several people, including ramsaye, yal, IR and ioreka are CX'ing it there

@HoKe is fitting crabon wheels to his CX bike, so he HAS to come along.

Well, lets just say that at the last one, in thick gloop, two members of this parish turned up on fixie skidders with slicks and did ok.....you'll be fine on a crosser 👍

Oops, new page fail! What they said^^^

Epping is cx territory, anything else and you are either over biked or over compensating for your puny skills. Either way, anyone not riding cx deserves to be brutally murdered, dismembered and to have their body parts scattered around the area.

Unless you bring cake, then all is forgiven.

over biked or over compensating for your puny skills

You rang?

Have you considered a smaller bike? Something more chuckable.

chuckable

No.... just... no!

When it comes to money she's as tight as a gnats chuff....

Cool. In that case I'm in too, depending on the date.

Enough people for you yet, @Howard ?

Holy f*ck - this will be ultimate.

I should know for sure next week, but expect two rides.

Sometime mid-to-late September. Probably Saturdays.

So likely either 17th & 24th of Sep, or 24th Sep & 1st Oct.

I can only make Oct 1st if it goes ahead, just booked a holiday.

Saturdays work for me.

Most of these rides have been on a Saturday, although I'll occasionally do a midweek ride, for the funemployed/wfh among us.

Also, @Sparky needs to finally join in one of these...

I think I can do all of those fella......I'm off down there today for a mooch. Hope the rain stays away!

Hope the rain stays away!

Better hurry :-)

Big chamber tyres on low pressure, it's like corrugated concrete in there. I've got vibration white finger in both arms.

Pat's alright there. He's got the choice of 29er full-sus, or 29+

In, assuming this doesn't coincide with my late September holiday.

#humblebrag

This is my September holiday.
