Badgers in heat - Epping Forest Summer rides

I was flat out at about 26-27mph

LOL. I don't even fall that fast.

And he ignored my enthusiastic salutation!!

You can get arrested for that, you know...

I see you posted on an Epping thread in the Singletrack forum earlier :-)

I'll be about 120psi but will be running Corsa G+ tubs

It took me like three google searches to make that joke

Running about 90gi again?

:0)
My knees know all about it this morning though!

Going out to Epping today, if anyone has any tips for singletrack bits pls lemme know! Can only really remember the bomb hole and the Wellington hill bit.

Message me when you get to the tea hut and I'll try to guide you from there :-)

I did some nice single track loops between hollow ponds and ranger road on Monday. Was out with some peeps from Weds cross training so we were doing a spoting loop then sprints. Well fun and later I thought I'd check them out on Strava so I could go back another time.

Must remember to press the start button.

Do you need a search party sent out yet? @xkittyx

all is well! my phone died before I got to the tea hut so couldn't message, had a great time though, v hot, but I mostly rode through not-trails (quasi bushes) and rode the wellington hill bit a few times and had a few goes at the bomb hole. really excited for the honey badger rides now!

Splendid. I expect that + bike was a world away from riding the Crosscheck :-)

Confirmed for both days. List!

Now the question is, can I be bothered to swap out my Bonty mud tyres, and if so, what to?

swap out my tubeless tyres

Urgh

Yuh.

I haven't unmounted them since I put them on over two years ago

You must ride about as often as I do ;-)

I never seem to wear out mtb tyres before i swap them.

I don't think I've worn a single tyre out since I started cycling, I swap them so often on the road bikes.

@stedlocks, same thing has happened to me on the commute and to matters worse they seem to go past with such aplomb.

@BareNecessities Report back if you get a chance to get out on your Rohloff and let us know how it went.

Cheers

Hopefully going out this weekend, so will let you know.

They should be made to wear a big flashing 'E' on their heads, to let us all know

My first lfgss ride. Woo!

My first lfgss ride. Woo!

You picked a good place to start :-)
