    Put me down for Sunday too please!

    Currently popping vit c and brufen to try and break a virus/cold type thing that's making me feel crap, so may bottle the full ride tomorrow, but I'll be there for 10 anyway.

    Agree to meet at the bottom car park, and Jo's a gal, who are easy enough to spot at GT 😉

    Grumpystevo is giving me a lift, Honda S2000, both bikes white.

    Was going to wait till 7pm then mail you a list Goan – if it'll help at all. By the by, have you seen forecast for tomorrow – seems it'll be very windy around midday; BBC 5-day says 35mph around 13.00, which definitely means serious gusts. Be careful out there.

    I'll just use that list up there and give folk 15mins grace each day. Cheers for making my life a bit easier.

    If the weather is really shit i have some grim weather options, but being a kayaker and former ranger my definition of grim weather is pretty **** grim. Come well wrapped up if the weather looks bad.

    Kudos George et al – if I hadn't had to work today, still wouldn't have gone out! Hope it's calmer tomorrow.

    So how was the terrain? Compared to the red route at GT? And whats the planned route like for sunday?

    stevenmenmuir

    No hard core in sight for one thing. Loads of roots for another. And some water and mud. And did we mention the wind yet.

    Smee

    It was a big long, 42 mile, ride on mostly open moorland. Double track with some nice sections of rooty singletrack, technically i'd say it is more tricky than the red at GT by a fair distance, but thats because the red at GT is like riding on the pavement.

    Come down. Even with the wind it'd be fine.
