Isn't everyone?

No...? just me then...

Definitely in for at least one ride, probably 24/09 like the bet-hedger I am

I never made it.... Jockey wheel disintegrated, so had to find a replacement..... I might do a loop round broxbourne woods though, on my way home..... But yep, am knackered!

I'd rather be in London's famous Epping fwiw. Any cx tyre recommendations (max 35c, under £60 per pair)?

@Howard and @Ramsaye have far more experience of CX tyres than me, although I think @IR has used Conti Mountain King and Schwalbe Smart Sam around there with no issues.

Pretty much anything works around Epping in the Summer, so I'd get something cheap & tough, unless you wanted them to double up as actual race tyres.

It depends on conditions and whether you want to run them with tubes of tubeless. With tubes for all round off road but not too muddy, hard to beat the Michelin mud2. Otherwise, anything by Scwalbe with a folding bead.

^ this pretty much

One of my favourite rides so far, from September 2014, with @Aroogah @blowfish @umop3pisdn and @7Üp

From around a week after that. Definitely one of the best times to ride in Epping Forest.

But let's not underestimate the joy of a bogfest:

Bogfests are special in their own way.

Up for it in principle, date dependent

Any idea how long we might be out for? And what sort of time we're likely to meet?

Starting from Chingford Station at 10:30am, getting you all back to the station by 4pm.

Around 3 hours of actual riding.

Cool, will add you to the list ^

Are you intending to do this on a Saturday?

That's usually the best day for me at the weekends.
