sounds like a good day was had by all despite the rain, that drop in pic 2 looks like it could be fun..

another 6 of us got a session booked in July, cant wait now

take spare brake pads with you
by the end of the day my rear brake was non exsistant and rich had to change his out too.

No probs, i always carry some in my pack

do you think a full face lid is best for the day?

nwmlarge · **Posts:** 3548 **Location:** essex

Which ever you are most likely to employ the skills learned in.
makes me more comfortable to wear a full face plus in the rain it was a good hat unlike the guys in super vented xc lids lol

Not sure you'd need a full face, depends if you plan on crashing ?? nothing is particularly big unless you go looking for it but the day is spent under the directipon of Tony and there is no push to do anything you're not comfortable with, as the day progressed so did the ability and the terrain,

personally for me we'd just got to the good stuff by the time i was knackered so felt i missed out on fair bit of what i wanted to do, but had learnt loads so wasnt actually fussed, riding back and forth through the gloop was such hard work for an unfit guy like me !! If it had been a dry day i felt i would have accomplished more, i want to go back and pick up where i left off.

I'm ordering up a 4 pack from superstarcomponents tomorrow as i'm sure my fronts won't be far behind.

I cant believe everyones pads have gone, were they worn to start with or was it the intense amout of water on tem making them wear so much ?

My bike sounded like the pads were metal on metal when i wheeled it into the garage, just assumed they were full of shit, will take a look at the weekend just in case !!

They had some wear but they weren't that close to going that grit eats pads clearly

Mine were new on about 3 rides ago!

Huge thanks to Tony for the coaching, was an awesome day over there.

Good to meet some more people off here.

@festa, good news about your booking, I take the fullface as an option but prefer the normal lid as I can hear much better.

FWIW my pads aren't gone, they just have grit mashed into them a good clean should sort them
