Badgers Reloaded

Penciling my name in, too far in time for any more serious commitment as I will need to judge closer to the day based on fatherhood duties, but it'd be good to meet some badgers!

Would be on a CX obvs

Is this before/after your 12h thing @BareNecessities?

Is this before/after your 12h thing

Definitely before, as that's on hold for the time being :-)

Did I not mention the 34mm minimum tyre width requirement...

I run 35 in summer, should be good!
Plus the route goes through some perennial mud pits, there might be a place for 33s even in July!

perennial mud pits

Out.

How many pubs are on the route?

Close enough: https://goo.gl/maps/E5wEBTi8UedsHQyD9

Tentative in, subject to working out the logistics of getting there.

One, but you pass it twice

One, but you enter it once and can wait in there until the rest of us finish the ride

ftfy

I've mentioned this to a non forum friend (yes, they do exist, I don't even have to pay him much) and he's keen too. So I might have a +1.

In for stickers and cake

I'll get a new batch of stickers made up for the ride :-)

Typically handed out for acts of extreme bravery

extreme bravery

Like ordering starters, main AND pudding?

Only if you keep it all down

Like sending it over a 3ft jump to flat on the back of a tandem despite having just tried it once which ended with your balls dragging on the back tyre

Yes, that counts

Sadly, the owner of that tandem @liam-h now lives far far away, so we won't be seeing it again :'(

sending it

There will be none of this from me.

Oof. How are you supposed to jump a tandem?

OMJ!!!

You can get an overground with bike from somewhere west to somewhere east

@hippy not sure where you're coming from, but when going to Swinley, I go-
Black Horse Road
Gospel Oak
Richmond
then on to Brandon from there.

You can certainly take your bike on the District line. And I can lead from Walthamstow to Chingford if any one wants to meet before hand, and to ride the trails on the way there.

this is 10 mins from our new home, so... in

Never met any of you but, as I ride in Epping a lot anyway and I'm keen to meet some badgers, I'm in.

Might be up for this depending on how slow it is and what my fitness is like by then, I'm just getting back into riding after a few years off the bike.

And I can lead from Walthamstow to Chingford if any one wants to meet before hand, and to ride the trails on the way there.

that'd be a no brainer if I am coming
