What’s it likely to be like today after Wednesday’s rain? It’s either there or Surrey today as the wife and kids are away, if it’s going to be death chalk would rather give it a miss

Should be ok – some chalk but not loads. It rained but the ground was dry at the start so it won’t be the worst conditions

I’ll be up there at about 11 I think

OK ta. I’ll be the lanky **** on a black Turner Sultan, mate will prob be an a fluoro yellow orange 5

It’s just started raining here (I’m a mile away from QECP) so I’d stay off the final descent ‘chalk’ chute until it’s stopped if I were you. But there’s loads of riding that will be fine up there.

I’ll be in my QECP top, Voodoo Wanga HT – I’ll keep my eyes open for you

Lap of the red and lap of the blue completed and there’s less mud on the bike than when I started.

Heavens just opening though

Yeah, was fun until bent sprocket stopped play. Good to meet you m0rk, will give you a shout next time we’re over that way.
