Sunday's are for grav(el)y

As mentioned in Gravelbro's thread...
Come for a silly ride. Get muddy. Have coffee.

It was quite muddy the last time I went out there.

Just me I guess...

Looks like a short Epping ride ruined by a long road ride to get there

I would come but I'm injured

It's a canal to get there. The way out is predominately not on roads...

I'm glad you recognise that the car park at the Lee Valley Ice Centre is a must-visit. :)

I'm injured

Eh...what you done?

Well, it's slightly more complicated than that, but I'm off the bike and out of action for a few weeks. Hoping to be ok for eusscx.

@eyebrows we should do this when I'm better - hardly any road or towpath. Pretty frickn muddy tho!

In. Just let me know when you're healed up!

This was fun, but I cut my solo ride short due to losing sensation from feet.
Will probably do this ride again next week.

I might be up for this next weekend (actually took your route and made a personalized versione of it)

I'm also keen to come along on gravel/mud rides. I have a reliability trial this weekend then I'll get involved.

Not sure I'll make it out tmw.

I did go out today and did most od the route above (at least we meant to). We purposely/involuntarily got lost so many times, tracks were rather muddy, fun was had. I'm up for this next weekend too if I can schedule all my other things around..

.

Glad you enjoyed it!
I'll try and get organised for next week, but I spent yesterday doing swim/ run drills and today I'm just plain shattered.

Anyone up for this on Wednesday or Friday? Working all weekend.

Working all week mate, will go Sunday morning

@eyebrows and anyone else, want to go this Saturday/Sunday morning? I am up for trying the one Howard posted or any Epping forest ride really. Might cross post in the Epping Badgers thread

Sunday for me. @Howard?

Ta for the invite but SSCX in Brighton....

Saturday would actually be better for me, if it's not a dealbreaker

Scratch that, Sunday works, weather should be good too.. @eyebrows Do you have a route in mind already? Part of the above would work for me, I didn't particularly like the canal to get out and would personally add more single track within the forest

10am, haven't got a route planned, yet

Bailed again, but this time due to plumbing and electricity issues... FFS

This Sunday? Not sure I can justify spending £50 on a two hour XC race that even if the trains run well I'll just about make it to the venue ten minutes before the start.
