Yeah, those super deep muddy bits were actually not to bad, as long as you “went in” with the right speed and gear! You could just plough through them, as the bottom of the muddy puddles was actually hard enough to get some grip and not sink surprisingly!

Rode bits of the course last night, it’s drying out nicely! Even Ginge bridge was rideable!

I’ll be out on them again today 🙂

er, it was rideable last sunday too……… 😉

(in fact, it was a dam sight easier riding down it than trying to skate down it in inappropriate shoes packed with mud, carrying a bike, and trying to avoid a long slip into a massive hedge full of nettles!!)

You could even ride up it last night!

😉 Amzaing what just a couple of days sun does to that chalky surface

If Ginge bridge was the bit with the big queue and people walking/sliding down on the left all four of us “Fatties” rode down it and up the rooty climb the other ride – plenty of grip 😀

That’s the place!

People walking down there made me chuckle!

Didn’t bother with the brakes once over the lip 😆

I rode down/up on my bike, on a pair of well worn Nobby nics pumped up to 45psi, and according to this forum, that alone should have relegated me to an immediate and probably firey, death! 😉

Beer + sun + early start + Kasabian gig = ruin.
