Epping Forest Autumn Radness!

Is there an echo in here? ;)

Some of that sounds pretty grim!

I do Whitehart Lane, Tottenham Cemetery, Tottenham Marshes/Lea Valley River, Kings head...

Mudwatch update: I was up in Epping today expecting it to be hippopotamustastic, but it wasn't. Comparatively dry for the time of year; was worse about a month ago.

Rain predicted for the next couple of days, but it should still be very rideable.

Excellent! Just hoping there are no massive downpours forecast for Saturday.

Precipitation probability: almost fucking certain for Saturday. So much fun in the mud to be had. :-)

I'm definitely bringing some spare socks.

Would recommend that ^ to everyone.

That one time you have to suddenly put a foot down, it WILL be into a big puddle.

I'm considering doing a 20 mile route, which will be around 70-80% of what's on here, with a few small changes/improvements.

Best bit of cycling clothing I've ever bought.

I've got an unopened, new pair of those somewhere.

I might even look for them, before I come down on Thursday....

You'll still be wearing a T-shirt though, right?

From what I can see I'm definitely in for this.

Nice one, yal. Got any knobbly tyres for the Pomp?

35mm conti speed kings so I think I should be good?

i should be fret over fixed/free, psi and whether people will wear baggies or full skinsuits in a calm and relaxed way now, you know over stuff that really matters.

.

Skinsuit? Baggies? Hmmm....

Might go for the skinsuit worn over the baggies....

35mm conti speed kings so I think I should be good?

Should be fine :-)

I hope the weather* doesn't put too many people off!

*still changeable

Mudguard fitted and ready to roll.

Would michelin mud 2's be a touch to skinny for this?

Nope. They'll do :-)

I think that's what @HoKe is planning to use?

Edit - No, but similar rubber from Conti.
