Notes from the Field
Jo and I took a light run over Rushup Edge (a five mile section of next Saurday's route) this afternoon, then dining at the Sportsman Inn, Hayfield... we can report the ground underfoot to be firm but softening - mostly a Porcupine kind of surface we felt. Twas my first run on an FSR - it was lovely, I didn't realise what a bloody good suspension set up it has. However I feel duty bound to cycle something more hardcore in my back yard, to save any moaning come the day...
Roast Pork with crackling and a fat Yorkshire Pudding was excellent reward at the pub in Hayfield. A small room has now been reserved for the pub quiz and the landlord has been primed for Gus - adding two extra wardrobes in his room...
