not sure yet, need to hear from others about what they want to do, i'll go along with what everyone else wants really

Don't care on the terrain, i'll ride it all on drops... the steeper and scarier the better!!!

We met at 10am last time, gave people enough time to travel etc. Need more details than 'Tea Hut' please.

10am sounds good to me depends on the other riders .tea hut is by the rangers office just off the main car park which is £1.50 for 4 hours

There's no sticky mud at all, but there will be lots of wet mud this time of year. There are also a couple of rock gardens, a couple of mile long dry gravel climbs and a few tree roots in some areas. There are several gravel tracks of varying difficulty plus the more fun red run and loads of extra bits that aren't official. The are lots of places to stop and wait for slower riders like me! It'll be a laugh!!! :xmas-wink:
