The new bits are a bit muddy:

Looks like we're in for some good, clean, dirty fun if those photos are anything to go by.

Following a couple of queries, I can confirm that there will be some food for all riders (courtesy of a2Zest Catering and Retrobike) but there is also food available at the trail centre/cafe or if you have a hearty appetite you may want to bring a sandwich or similar.

Now, where did I put those Spikes......

Honestly not a problem mate, thank you for the original offer.

Got some work to do/favours to earn with Mrs LMTTM but might be able to wangle the car :?

If I make it it will be on a modern steed ....... but its okay as I will ride at the back

won't be there now :?

Those pics may just have forced a change of plan on the bike front! Not sure U-brakes will cope with that

 

[Old Ned]

I'll be using 'flatties' and a pair of boots - SPD's won't cope with that!

Aiming to be there

Since Thetford the Kona has had

XTR chainset to replace LX with worn middle ring (I need a middle ring for that) also XT SPD's rather than DX SPD's

New rear mech hanger and XT mech, inner and outer cables to replace failed LX mech & hanger that failed on a night ride after Thetford. Maybe a new chain and cassette if it arrives in time.

Pace medium elastomer kit to sort out saggy forks (to be fitted)

Hi there,

New member if a long time lurker, but count me in for this what with it being on my doorstep and everything

Looking at Iwasgoodonce's pictures I can see a fair amount of de-NOS-ing is going to be taking place. The only bit that worries me about riding my more sparkly bikes in mud is the decals can get ruined in one ride.
