• NLD IV was good craic. Bit overcast at the start so nicely cool, then sunny for the finish. I didn’t see the 4x4 stranded though - one of the guys I ended up riding with got a puncture which took a little while to sort so maybe was done by the time we got there. Where was it?

    I was surprised by how wet it wasn’t, given Thursday evening and Fridays rain. Very different to last year - no traction problems nor getting caught in a channel of mud. I really enjoyed it. No problems with the bike either - seemed like the mechanics at the halfway point had a lot to deal with.

  • No idea how they removed it, the guy told us they had been there all night !

    Nice ride indeed, i think i spotted a couple of forumers, @LukeG and dimi3 ? (will remove @ obvs )
    There was a lot of bike on display...

  • Yeah, that was me. Was it you with the yellow cannondale at the end? Great looking bike if so, was that the bike you rode the route on?

    The 4x4 was just about out when we came through. Got sprayed with a load of mud during the final wheel spin getting it over the edge

    Great route, organisation, pizza, beer and goodie bags. Hope they do some more regular editions as they seem to scout out some great stuff

  • Ahaha I saw the boggy mud hole and wondered what had been in it!

    I was on a green fairlight

    Could be up for a local nogravel ride
