British Steel ride - Forest of Dean 5th August

[theredchili]

I can bring my pocket Pentax and The RC will have his I-phone, which in his hands takes excellent pictures.

As for what bikes; I expect each and every one of you to be on a hand made steel British bike.


But then, he who expects nothing is seldom disappointed, so I'll settle for a dry day and a bunch of folks on bikes.

What are ground conditions like? It's been wet on and off since Sunday evening here, so I'm thinking I can leave the TrailRakers on the Roberts.

Thats Great Neil ,

As for conditions, yesterday was nice dry (fast ) conditions, however last night it has chucked it down so will probably wet,will head out tomorrow for a quick spin and check as it will be the last chance i get until Sunday

I'm not going to make it, got too much on and as were off to France in a couple of weeks I can't afford a day away.

very similar to the ride at Easter which you and Matt liked

Excellant - have you managed to remove all of the uphill bits? (not so keen on those!)

Not quite all the uphill bits -or there would be no downhill bits

Not strictly true......

If you would like a nice rock garden I can add one to the route

Yes please - Dave loves those, they are his absolute favourite, especially the really steep rocky ones
