Forecast looks like the worst of it will come through later today.

See you all tomorrow all being well

Correct me if I am wrong but is it more likely to be just very wet rather than muddy on the trails round Swaledale? I've only ever ridden it in the dry but it seemed more rocky/gravelly than earthy.

It's mostly rocky over in Swaledale rather than muddy. There are plenty of old mining and quarry tracks.
It'll be wet rather than muddy.

I'm going to pull out of this one unfortunately.

I'm not a fair weather biker, but I am a fair weather camper

Hope you have a good one and the weather is kind.

I have secured another 30 bottles of Eat My Dirt Ninja Bike Cleaner from the Ninja's secret lair right here in Huddersfield - so there is about 50 in total.

AND I have a load of free stickers as well!! Made by GilM himself. :-D
