Badgers in the dust - the return of Epping Forest Summer rides

MTB is actually running at the mo

You're one step ahead of me then ;-)

I still need to fit my new bottom bracket after the sludge I picked up last time...

I dun a PF30 replacement

With the weather we've been having I might bring the track bike

With the weather we've been having

Sshhhh

It’s dusty n rutty

Nothing 25c paselas at 120 psi can't handle

I’ve been riding around on g-one speeds lately. Perfect for Epping right now.

I can't make this, sorrrrry.

So... I'm wondering how "dusty" are the woods just now.....? :)

We're all too late!

RIP, summer :'(

I am actually not going to be in Portugal.

Colour me interested...

Also interested, but anyone got a good route out from the centre? Thinking of training to Waterloo, then pedelling the rest.

anyone got a good route out from the centre

@mmccarthy @Howard or @youramericanlover will know a good one or two.

I'll be on singlespeed for this, so expect a 'mysterious' reduction in climbing.

Whipps Cross off road route via the Olympic park

Or

Direct road / canal route route via Tottenham Hale

I normally do Peckham-London Bridge-Stoke Newington then follow the canal up to Chingford.

I think you, myself and @platypus took this route to a previous ride

Yeah, sounds about right. Will do some mapping later. NE London is alien to me!

I should be free that day so might tag along if that's ok

I bought new tyres. For dry trails.

Sorry.

I'm already looking forward to having my morale shattered by Howard and Benson

@mashton - was medium wet today, but no bogs. Also the paths that were ruined over the winter by heavy machinery are back to normal now.

Gatorskins?

Ikons. Gumwall.

To match the stickers.

I still am yet to fit my new bottom bracket after the last ride killed my current one.
