will it be the same route as last time?

No, it's mostly this route, but with occasional changes when I forget where I am or suddenly change my mind :-)

There's a road climb in there.. You should be ashamed

I don't know what you're talking about...

That changes everything!

What sort of time will you be setting off from there? I'm heading up from Bromley by Bow and trying to work out my options (for a lay in )

Hopefully not as muddy as Nov 7th 2015

I wonder if anyone ever discovered @zooeyzooey 's remains

I'm a ghost now. I learned a good lesson that day. Don't take a "shortcut" in epping if you don't want to go OTB into a bog.

before gravel bikes

It's a lesson you can carry on in your life

oh

Hope everyone's started carb-loading!

Okay sounds good. This a depends if I can successfully install tubeless in the next 24 hours.

Seeing a lot of mtb here, although I suppose gravel hadn’t been invented in 2015

Do I ride a gravel bike or mtb this weekend?

It's more fun on a MTB but it's quite flat and pedally so don't bring your DH rig

Ha. I haven’t checked this ride section for years.. Did today, and see a picture of myself from 2015. Freaky. Kudos to the guy on the 1993 kona cindercone. I can’t imagine the Cantis were much use that day

Broke: MTB
Woke: custom gravel rig
Bespoke: £3,500 tracklocross whip with Deore brakes

Choosing between 150mm F+R or 35c tires. New bike time

There were at least three people on CX bikes ( YAL, Hoke and Zooey ), but they must have been feeling camera shy

Or ashamed

I was on a cross check with 42c tyres on this ride. At the time we called that CX, but basically gravel. (every bike is a gravel bike)

oh just saw you said the same thing. but yeah. hiding.

And now you're a ghost

Thanks, gravel
