Ok chaps

the jumpbike is in the dining room, the xc bike is still in the car and I have just spent 2 hours at hertford skate park on the bmx (lovin it!) so fancy some mud tomorrrow.

Who is up for a half day session somewhere? either morning or afternoon.

Would Enfield trails be holding up?
Make go to Chicksands or Danbury?

Worst comes to worst epping ran great earlier in the week so may go over there for a morning spin.

(but would prefer the first 2!)

Any one about?

Nigel

Would love to but no transport.. (anychance of a lift?)
Danbury is in great condition at the moment and all the jumps are so smooth.

Yep im keen mate - was just gunna post up something similar - was riding Dh and digging Epping today and was loving it - conditions are still ok.

Did chickie recently so Danbury or Enfield would be my choice - no idea what Enfield is like at the mo - could be greasy or peachy.

Joost from the night ride this week my view is Epping is in general in great condition but the odd boggy patch but in general running fast and little bit greasy rather than muddy.

Jon - re tomorrow your call - i have never been to Enfield so can't make the call - happy with either but want to take the jump bike over the full bouncer so maybe Danbury is a go?

Bradley - where are you based?

Hey meandmylittleman - what sort of riding you looking to do over at danbury? if its jumps and drops and little DH runs then all the info including where to park is over here :)

If its more XC then its more difficult to describe as Danbury seems to consist of lots of little woods linked together and i dont know it well enough to outline where to go.

Sweet Paul - I imagine those 510s will take the next decade to dry out!

was there today and not 2 bad, u can see a vid from 2day in the enfield trails thread so you can see

was alot better then the last time when i saw you there, dirt jump bit was ncie and dry, the jump after the first berm on the 'dual' was a bit slippy after it but still fine, northshore seemed fine the first bit over the seesaw, and the bottom section right down near the river was a bit slippy as lots of leaves have fallen and they were a bit wet

Ohhhhh tricky one - i was going to say lets do Danbury as I was expecting Enfield to look a lot wetter than that

Nigel check the vid

http://www.pinkbike.com/video/165162/#top - fancy those or a bit of danbury on the jump bike?

Brad - I can give u a lift if we end up at Danbury but if its Enfield then ill be popping to the BnQ there on the way there and will need the space)

Great day on the DJ's over at Enfield trails - after a bit of sweeping we ran a couple of lines and progressed onto a sweet set of 6 or so DJ's in a row.. the last few were 5 foot high ish and there was a hip in the middle. Not bad considering ...

We are newbies at this stuff
I was putting Nigel off with the camera
Nigel was putting Tom off with his yelling and
I was doing a good job of putting myself off with some high speed nose casing


I don't think we took the video when we were at our best so apologies for the casing in the clips!
