Can't believe it's February already - feels like summer's just around the corner - or maybe not having just looked at the weather forecast, anyway .....

Aiming to head out on Thursday evening this week for a night ride in Epping .......

.... as always, open invite to anyone who's keen and happy to adjust the pace appropriately to suit whoever comes out &



Meet: Stubbles Car Park

Car park is at the T-junction of Nursery Road and Connaught Avenue

Ride Time: 8:15pm

Let me know if you'll be there....

I`m in then...

I should be good for this. Hopefully its cold and running fast.

I'll be there and see what happens. Mud tyres for frozen conditions, right? I think mud tyres for any condition at Epping Forest during winter

You guys are nuts, its bleeding freezing out there, I managed 40 minutes this afternoonandthat were cold enough

In the forest is not that cold normally. We'll see

yes, mudx works and speed over the icy sections, its a combo of ice, frozen ground and thick mud out there at the moment. mid-north east is running the best at the mo, more info here

must get lights sorted out and join you for one of these.

UPDATE: its frozen solid, trails are fast and flowy with the odd patch of mud, only gloop is underneath frozen puddles.
enjoy.

Thanks guys for waiting for me. Enjoyed loads my first time riding Epping on frozen mud. Bike came cleaner than it was at the start!

Yep its really fast and rapid out.. best riding in months. Enjoy it while you can!

Some footage

Great vid mate ! Your right the head tube mount gives a great angle

What sort of lights are you guys riding with in the vid, they dont look that powerfull but you can see where your going

The cameras sensor is just not picking up a lot of the light... it doesn't feel that far off riding in the day at times. Im running a hope vision 4 and a light in motion HID - should throw out about 1800 lumens.

CREE XML XM-L T6 LED on the handebars and a similar to this lumicycle LED3Si Pro52 on the helmet

Enough for night ride but I don't think I get 1800 lumen

I'm running:

Exposure Maxx D Mk III on bars
Bike Ray II on helmet

plenty of light where you need it i.e. pointing down the trail.
