Welcome aboard, Shoosh. Let me know what you plan to do about having/borrowing/hiring a suitable bike :-)
-
• #1529
Now I've done a cycle maintenance course, I am planning to see if my old MTB is road worthy (or make it so).
If not will hire one.Really don't want to miss this ride but it is so close to me being a human pin-cushion, I might have to.

That calls for advanced skills like welding..... ;)
I'm more fixing punctures / cleaning chains / changing tyres etc.

What tyres do you have available to choose from, Tony?
-
• #1539
^ Well as you asked,....Dmr Motos,Schwalbe Nobby Nics tubed or tubeless, Schwalbe Alberts.Maxxis Ardent and Crossmax,Continental Rubber Queen, Tioga Factory Muds.......and don't even go there with road bike tyres,

Nice selection :-)
I found that the Ardent front/Crossmark rear combination worked well in Epping last year. Nobby Nics appear to be well suited too.
Anything mud related will just be unnecessarily hard work at this time of year.

saying that, dicki managed to cope fine, using tyres that were about a decade past their 'use by' date.

Down in the forest something stirred......... kept to the left of the woods on the way up,rough riding most of the way, then crossed over just before Bell common tunnel and came back down on a nice little trail all the way to High Beech café(massive jacket potato well recommended) over the road to Wellington Hill? narrower with dangerous sink holes, a nice bridleway alongside a golfcourse on one side and a police helicopter pad on the other .. didn't have a map just rode where I fancied...and the tree canopy meant I didn't get wet..... nice billynomatesride:)
Sorry guys, bit short on spare time this year :-(
I might be able to do another at the end of August, but I can't confirm that yet.
Possibly a couple in October. I'll keep you updated.
