Any locals know what the current riding conditions are like ? I fancy a nice singletrack leafy ride, but it might be a bit too sloppy now ?
I was thinking of the area between Goring and Princess Risborough.
Cheers
getting muddier on the NWD side of the Thames.
And it's supposed to be a bit damp tonight, so will only get worse.
However, mrs petec went out yesterday from streatley to aldworth. Delightful apparently. Clothes and bike a bit muddy though
Last weekend, conditions were surprisingly good, with only light mud in the sections that are often a bog by now. Definitely on the turn though.
Yesterday the trails round Wendover were pretty much like they are in a normal summer - mostly dry but the odd bits of surface mud in places with no drainage; the full-on slop hasn't appeared yet. I'd guess Princes Risborough would be pretty much the same. The tree colours in the sun were fantastic.
Remembers winter in the Chilterns...[shudders]

It gets a bit much. Which is why I now own a road bike.
Road bike wont be any good in the muddy Chilterns either.
Not great.
Around Wendover Woods and Aston Hill: Sticky mud, greasy roots and chalk, tones of leaves and really cold.
