Regular MTB/CX rides in Epping Forest

Anyone for a ride this Sunday?

Current bog levels 11/10 fun factor -10/10.

I haven’t fitted mud tyres yet...

And that's just for the towpath

I'm just gonna hibernate till my spring-summer tyres can be used again

See you in June

Will be fine once the bogs freeze

Maybe you could take up cyclocross for the next few months ;-)

Last time I ventured towards Epping my tyres got covered in mud, and the mud then got covered in leaves. The result being my wheels looked like some 29+ camo tyre monstrosity.

@platypus how was it yesterday? (sorry I bailed)

beautiful and boggy
at times riding was impossible, but it's still not nearly the worst I've seen it

Take you on a tour of the bogs next week? I don't want you to feel like you've missed out.

I rode through every bog in the bloody forest, pal

on the plus side, all the jump landings are nice and soft

There's always another bog to discover

That's me sorted for the summer. What about winter tyres?

Brake destroying mud today. We both had to stop off at the tea hut to rinse our rotors, and to use the tea hut obviously.

Using your brakes?!

What a pair of noobs

@Dogs - Is this a rival group?

Those guys are trouble

Typical fixie skidders

Yeah, and I’m sad to say they had better bar spins.

Anyone up for a ride on Sunday?
