I plan to be in the forest at that time so will swing past high beech.

Other than a load of blokes on bikes ( which is quite a usual sight at High Beech), what should I be looking for to know it you ? :wtf:

Yep, gonna try and make it out and meet u at the pub carpark. Sounds like i gotta get the mud tyres on, with all this rain this week, Last week was not to bad, but the normal tyres were getting caked up.

Good ride guy's very gloopy, but made it good fun. it was a long north then south down to Whips x. Bacon and egg rolls went down a treat, then the 10 miles or so back to highbeach.

all in all, we covered circa 23.5 miles good going in all that mud.

Chat, have a look at this. http://www.notubes.com/Stans-Rim-Tape-1 ... m-P54.aspx
may be a possibility? might save some weight on the full kit?

Tally ho lads over the top we go!
