Only a few days to go now and the turnout is looking like it's going to be great. Not sure of the conditions in the Forest but nearby the recent rain after all the dry weather has left the surface a little greasy. I suspect that it will have dried nicely by the weekend though.
We'll have a sign on sheet before the ride so please bring an ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact number along - don't worry, we won't be keeping the numbers on some Big Brother style database, it's only for the ride and "just in case". And, again "just in case" you haven't been before and are wondering how to recognise us, we'll be the large group with lots of old bikes!
Now a personal note. If anyone has a black bolt up seatclamp in 31.8 that is spare and could bring along I'd be very grateful. I can swop for a Hope 31.8 in red or cash as you prefer.
