Myself and a couple of mendip locals were thinking of organising a Mendip ride.
Anybody welcome of any ability and bike variety.
Pub stop of course.
Numbers of interested parties would be nice.
The date of this occurrence would be Sunday 9th October.
Who fancies some Mendip mud & singletrack?

Yeah - & probably sporting rigid forks, for maximum Mendip mud suffering.
Posted 9 months ago # -

Posted 9 months ago # -
It's a definite possibility!
Posted 9 months ago # -

Maybe depends whether my wheels will hold up as it's quite close to the Q's
Posted 9 months ago # -

Ooh I do like the 'Dips. I'll try and come along!
Posted 9 months ago # -
Provisionally - yes I'm in.
Posted 9 months ago # -
come on CG theres nothing quite like Mendip mud!
Posted 9 months ago # -
I don't think it will be badly muddy by early October, it should still be running quite fast, and the undergrowth will have died back a lot.
It's mid November through Feb, after solid weeks of rain, that it's really affected by mud.
Just ensure you bring some fairly nobbly tyres rather than summer semi-slicks.

I love the climbs in the Mendips. A few trips down there in short succession very quickly gets the fitness up!
Posted 9 months ago # -
What's this about mud? I'll have you know that I don't change tyres til November!
Never been to the Mendips, apart from a school trip to Cheddar Gorge, so besides mud, what else can I expect?
Posted 9 months ago # -
Hi CG. Expect ...
Posted 9 months ago # -
CG - Expect a great ride!
