Here goes, we will be riding all 4 days, Friday thru to Monday, meeting at 10.00am Bike shed. We may well be riding Hainault Forest on one day so don't always asume we will be following the same route, nice to see some old faces around last weekend, Simon & Paul hope to see you again. If you have only ridden bridal ways in Epping Forest and wondered where all those bikers disapear to in the Forest come and join us without getting lost( well most of the time).

Hi, guys and gals, yes it is me. Between Mike and I we will be covering the rides on all 4 days. Yes it was nice to see some old faces again last week. The weather looks pretty good and look warm so we should at last be able to balst part of the rides and also look tovary the rides a bit as well.So get out there and see if we can get big turn outs on all 4 days.

Hi guys longtime no see. Hopefully make it up on Sunday.

Been doing a lot of riding around Dorking for the past few weeks but need a ride closer to the in-laws this weekend.

I'll confirm Saturday and hopefully it isn't the slurry last time I was up there!!

Whats the conditions like?

I just had a run local to me (Joydens Woods, Bexley) and was running IRC Mythos 2 at 40psi no problems.

If its still slurry then thin and knobbly!

May make tomorrow as well it looks like. If I'm there at 10 I am if I'm not there by 10 dead on I'm not.

Sunday looks a defo as well and weather forecast has it as warm and sunny.

did a 2 1/2 hour evening ride last night and despite the recent rain it's drying out quite nicely in places. still plenty of mud on some of the trails (which is no bad thing if you're like me and think mud makes mountainbiking!!!!). would suggest the knobbly tyres stay on a bit longer - some of the climbs still need plenty of grip!
