Well, new school for me, bringing the global with fast rolling summer tyres , there was more road/hardpack and not much in the way of mud last year. Only done it last year so don't know if they change the course :?:

But there was a lot of grass and fields IIRC. Pretty sure grass + fields + 1000 riders + rain = MUD!!!
Actually, this is a pretty good motivator to head out first...

that coffee shop sounds inviting - can I have a large decaf skinny latte with vanilla syrup please

Good point there Andy :idea: In that case im still going to be sporting summer tyres, did a night ride on them yesterday and seemed to work OK.
And this coming from someone that has ridden on nothing else than trailrakers

Not sure i could cope with that much drag.

bugger.

Just realised we are talking tyres without any input from Gus.

bugger!!

We are just as bad. NOOOOOOOO!!!

I know, and i was just thinking about bringing my [ bike clothing wardrobe in a big bag ] too

Lets not get started on stem spacers or fork choice

As I managed to bugger my SID's the night before the Goodwood race and had to rob Mrs Wu's bike for some (shorter steerer) I was intending to ride with a spare Zooka in my back pocket so I could change stem height/ rise mid race if ness. Now that would have been a medal worthy effort.

Race was cancelled. :roll:

I'm bringing up,

tat for Ed
Shifters for Russell
Frame for Hilts
Wheels for JV
moccachino for Kev

think that's it.

And riding cross btw. With tyres usless in mud. And gearing even more usless in mud.

hey! mine was the moccachino! Kevs was a large decaf skinny latte with vanilla syrup please. just can't get the staff :roll:

I'm bringing a frame etc for JV

Was going to ride the '89 Firemountain but the weather for the weekend makes a rigid singlespeed with a U-brake at the back look like a pretty foolish choice.

Might ride the Zaskar as I'll be glad of the light weight after a few muddy miles.

So is JV planning on just getting all the bits on the day and building a bike up? cool

Good job we're there for the attention to details Andy!

I'm bringing frame & BB for Ed, half a bike for Hilts, myself, my toolbox and my wallet. Does the Starbucks take credit cards in this village or do I need cash?

Please anyone remind me if I promised to bring you anything else?
