Makes no difference - it's always dull. Good luck (staying awake).

Make sure you use sintered pads and be prepared to replace every moving part on your bike after the dalby paste has ground it away.

Positive bunch.
It'll be a thousand times better than, say, Catton Park.
Have a good one Bruce.

We rode Dalby black and other trails in the forest in the wet over the Easter weekend. Gritty but grippy. Great fun.

Presume you'll be on the World Cup course. It's pretty dirty in places,
especially Worry Gill. There seems to be a lot of organic has creeped onto the trail in places. I presume it must be you we were preparing the trail for last weekend.

So does this mean your Facebook status about the roadies struggling is gonna apply to you 😉

Good luck, I'm not risking another pile up on the line!

It was utter carnage. We counted four ambulances there at the same time, I smashed my new forks to bits and strained my groin(!). 650mile round trip for 10 minutes riding....

Good course but horrid in the wet.

Really? Rubbish! The Gorrick was great fun!

Really! The course was massively cut up, which was a shame because it looked like it would be really good in the dry. Proper technical, just a shame it was such a sh1tfest. Small Block-8's weren't really the tyre of choice either...

How did you get on at Gorrick?
