Riding both days, 10.00am start bike shed south woodford unless its tipping down with rain, had a bad beastway this week, having had some great riding in Greece for 4 days in 43 degree C. got over confident and just felt drained, the cold and the rain did me no favours either,hopefully will post up a more detailed report on Greece later, in the meantime see you over the weekend, and just maybe somebody might join me doing the Beastway.

Mick/Guys/Girls,

Could you please tell me how is the Forest riding at the moment? Is it a boggy mess or did the early-summer dry spell do enough to lessen the effects of the recent rain?

I've been away so have no idea how the trails are doing. I have a mate who has just upgraded his ancient Cro-mo Trek (800?) for a Kona Caldera and wants to get out this weekend. I was going to ask him along with us but if it's too muddy he'll possibly struggle to keep up?

Thanks,

Gary

P.S. Anyone up for a Critical Mass Ride tonight (7pm @ South Bank of Waterloo Bridge)?
Cool

Got the feeling it may be a bit muddy if the beastway was anything to go by and with the more rain today has not helped. If its raining/wet in the morning I will not be out. Regards to all, its certainly not Greek Weather.

Owing to Rain/Wet + potential further Wet/Rain/Mud will not be riding this weekend, apologies to anybody still going, hoping for a dry beastway for Wednesday.
