Badgers awaken! - In memory of @Bullheart

So, should I attempt a Sunday ride too

I've found someone to put on a steep learning curve, so unless anyone from above has any other ideas I'm in. see I've got the same level of commitment to this ride as @pit has to Monster.

steep learning curve

Have they ridden a bike before?

Not sure, it's their managing of contractors that I'm most concerned by.

managing of contractors

Dealing with assassins can be a tricky business

It was suggested to me that we dedicate this ride to the memory of @Bullheart . He never managed to make it to a Badgers ride, due to his poor health, so we'll ride this one for him :-)

gotta ride the dug in line on the top right of claypit

I'm pleased to tell you there's 3 lines that have dug, one even has a jump into an actual berm, with a fallen tree at the bottom with a totally sketchy line.

Are these lines in the vicinity of the green marker on this map?

I think it’s closer to the road, further south before the sandy steep climb. Your pin is on the the older line - which was ruined last year by tree felling.

I'll check it out beforehand, and decide whether to go anywhere near it on the day of the ride

It’s basically a riff on the one where indra indra’d himself

Pls no. Not again

There's a ridge just before where it says forest way on the map, two start from there then, the other we've definitely done last summer, but it was a bit boggy, but luckily someone has dug a jump (amongst others) so you can either clear the bog or splat right into it. The berms look like this (and obviously are nothing to look at in the photograph)-

Possibly out because work is getting busy/tricky 😑

I'll put the dreaded question mark next to your name :-(

actually able to be 'in'!

if its a two dayer, could it be combined with some wildcamping/badger shitting in the woods type action?

Bikepacking threads are that way >>>>>>>

;-)

I might bring my hammock anyway..... it’ll be a way of getting you jumpy gnarly bods off the trails and to the hospital....!

There are a bunch of new bits dotted about and some old stuff that's been touched up.
If not working late Friday night then I'll come along.

Consider yourself added to the 'maybe' list :-)

jumpy gnarly bods

There might be some of those slack bikes you like so much

Don't make me have to crash them into trees to sort the geo out!

If horses evolved with longer legs at the front, I'd have to concede defeat on my beliefs, but until someone photoshops something to convince me.......

Any badgers fancy joining me tomorrow for a short North Downs ride? Oxted to Maidstone. ~40 miles of easy cross country.
