All being well I'll be coming over with my wife.
She has just bought an ellesworth epiphany and wants to give it it's debut ride, and I'll probably be on my 93 khs retro mod.

Bring it along and I'll have a look funnily enough my mate dropped my spare wheels round earlier so I'm ready to rock and roll but I'm always on the scout for spares! I'll be in the black vivaro van :wink:

If you've got your spares - just to be clear - I don't need to bring a rear tomorrow.

If you're sorted - I'll use it on the winter hack - save a decent one

Mostly singletrack with forest "road" links. Eminently suitable for riding fully rigid - doesn't get as techinical as the rooty descent after Yoghurt Pots on the Leith Hill ride.

The are two big drop-offs (which you cannot roll over) on the "black" section, I don't do that section, but it's short section that's been added as an extra so those who wish to, can with no navigation issues.

Trail conditions this morning were fine (drier than last weekend), the "off piste" bits, a little moister but nothing remotely boggy.

Didn't get to check cake forecast. :-(
