Bonus Badgers!

Make sure to take a bigger bottle though...

gotcha boss

@PhilDAS and in doing so I’ll free up the third bottle mount and then have enough water for the ride

*Looks worryingly at 3L frame bladder *

You'll need the third mount for the trail shovel to dig yourself out of the bog

If the bog wants you, no mere shovel will deny it

am i over reacting to the mud?

yes

Bike forums are a safe space to overthink these little things

Yeah no probs. I'll follow your route up. If you see someone spinning on a sscx, wave as you pass!

Tyres gearing changed. Camelbak sanitized, and sausages cooked for butties in the morning

Frighteningly well organised!

😉 Maximising my lay in

I’m out :( wish I could but have too much work, not enough time

Mud tubs glued for Sunday and semi-slick swapped out for tomorrow. Bikes!

If my bike falls apart, leave me as a sacrifice.

On a train to London

Sleepy

Think I'll pop along for a bit

Going to have to bail sadly cos of my health.

Enjoy the mud!

Decided not to cycle to the woods and got on the train, now I’m outside the station way too early

Get a coffee - it will only cost you £4 - and it will taste awful

There is a market outside the station with a good van, I got a god awful coffee for £2

Acceptable price for awful coffee imo

Great success!

See how many you can drink before I get there

We are 15 minutes late, sorry! Dont wait, we have the route

I should not have made light of @spotter 's brake situation, mine are abhorrently loud all of a sudden. I won't be needing them, right?

We're not setting off until 11:30 :-)

thumbs up
