I will be there had no time for training so will be in pain somewhere towards the back looking for an exit

Any ideas about tyre choice I am a bit lost as there is no rain set between now and then so whether to go with mud specific or something else to make my suffering a lil easier - thoughts plz...?

I'll be there on a particularly overbuilt Spesh Enduro, being a sobbing mess on the climbs and a danger to others on the descents 🙂

Mud tyres a no-no I'd have thought as the vast majority won't be muddy; high rollers for me, but they pick up that clayey mud in those parts like a right bugger.

Yep, i'll be there. Been a couple months since i've ridden the Dyfi forest so I will be the guy on the BFe giggling like a lunatic on the descents. (And probably wearing an AberMTB jersey, if i can find it before sunday)

In terms of tyres I shall be on high rollers. Can't wait.

Not sure if I'm gonna do thus or not, my mate keeps asking but I just don't know.

If I do I'll more than likely be on a black Nicolai or an orange Cove Handjob

I've got Rubber Queen 2.2s on front and back and they did perfectly for the full Enduro last year. I'm sure they'll be great again this year. Seems a perfect tyre for local conditions.

Lol@ Sofaking but with Us being there in bigger numbers a month later I really think it'll be Febs headline!

I'll be there with Mrs ssstu.
She'll be on a Salsa 29er singlespeed and i'll either be on a Jones fatfront singlespeed, a Black Sheep curved towel rail 29er singlespeed or a Salsa Mukluk fatbike with "some" gears.

I won't be wanting any attention though. 😉
