Me and the mrs are gonna have a ride there tomorrow before picking up some Thatchers 🙂
I've got a ruff gps but much better tagging along.
Cheers

Would love to, but probably not after yesterday's rain 😆

Do you know of any dry bits? I tend to stick to a Rowberrow - Trig Point - Limestone link loop, the little trails off which are horrific after heavy rain.

Yes I am planning to as I can't be out long enough to drive to the Qs as I originally planned. Less driving means more riding though 🙂

If you want to tag along that would be great. I'm riding fairly gently at the moment due to a fall last week. But I've got to get out the house! It will be a bit dirty and slippy in places, but I can usually string together the faster trails that avoid the worst of it.

Where and when do you want to meet? How long do you have? What mix of riding/trails do you like?

Ok Buzz cool!
Shul we say 10:15 for 10:30?
We have no time limit really 🙂
I've rode the Q's for 10 years, Gf for about a year(smiths Combe and Dh lines are a bit much) but good for mileage 🙂
Let us know a meeting place and we will see you there.

Looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, I'm not permitted to ride at the moment, and I've not sourced a new helmet yet either. 😯

Oh. My. God

The amount of rain that has fallen and is still falling is unbelievable

Are you sure you still want to ride?

"Is it gonna be muddy/boogy? think we will hit the Q's 0r FOD and wait for a dry day!"

I think that's a sensible idea. The drains outside my house are backing up with rain water! When its like this the quantocks or a trail centre is the answer. I may go to Ashton court.
