Not the most suitable tyres but I can't afford diff ones by then... Hmm

Not the most suitable tyres

I think that's going to be rather dependant on the weather. I'll also adapt the routes depending on what bikes people are riding on the day.

Well, the group sizes are certainly more manageable than I'd expected :-)

completely overkill bike for epping

Curious as to what this might be...

Doesn't have an engine does it ;-)

It's a spez pitch. it's alright on the downhill bits up by high beech but a bit overkill for the fireroad stuff. But alas I only have room for one bike and I need something I can survive Coed y Brenin on.

It's a spez pitch.

Nice. There'll be a bit of a mixture then, with everything from your beast to SS cross bikes and possibly some nutter on a FGFS bike.

I might bring my Pitch too, Weaz. There's no such thing as overbiked...

There's no such thing as overbiked...

Just makes you ride differently I think. I used to really enjoy messing about on my Kona Coiler, even when it was far more than I actually needed.

Quite tempted to build it up again now. All I need are new wheels, brakes and a suspension fork...

new wheels, brakes and a suspension fork...

Y'know, nothing expensive like.

Gangsta isn't an FGFS bike ;)

Urgh, enlighten me then. What the hell is it?

It's gansgta as fuck ;)

my Kona Coiler

Ah, here it is/was.
