Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

@Hulsroy what do you think?

Also wet is an understatement, i went on saturday

Yeah fuck that.
I am going to move to southern italy. I can't deal with this shit.

Bloody hell

yeah it was deeeeeep, well over my cranks when I gave up and had to hike a bike through the brambles

Hmmm

@platypus too

In conditions like this I wouldn’t ride anywhere natural because it’s just gonna get messed up even more. That includes the north downs :(

Blimey O_o

Sounds like you've been watching too much GMBN recently.

sozzles i'm holding out for the spring surge

@spotter @Howard @Hulsroy (?) let's do olympic park then? couple of hours quick blast sounds fun

I'm game. What kinda time?

cool. either 10am or 3pm, whatever works best for everyone

10am pls

Sorry, I building bikes instead. Although weather is lovely.

no worries, @spotter you feel like it?

Yes, I do need to get a new chain first though, try as a might to rejuvenate it, mine properly fucked by riding in the snow and salt, two stiff links I can't in stick.

great, ok, see you guys then!

hmm not sure i'll make it for 10 sorry, I didnt get a chance to go to my LBS to get the chain yet and I wont today before they shut. They open at 10 tomorrow, maybe i'll get over for 15:00 though

:( shame, will be there for 10 tomorrow with howard...next time!

Think I'm gonna get there for 9, leave at 11. Or maybe earlier!

damn, that's early. I'll be there at 9:30 but can't really come much earlier!

Has anyone got a pair of 170mm cranks, either Shimano Hollotech (53mm chain line for boost) or RaceFace Turbines or Aeffect BB92 they’d care to part with?

What light, fast, high volume 29er tyre (>2.25") for the summer?

Rocket Ron

Hmmmm Maybe not in > 2.25 29er

Hans Dampf ? Or Nobby Nic?

This is Britain. Just fit Magic Marys and feel smug when the inevitable deluges appear.
