Heading to the Tocks tomorrow, just wondering how they are holding up with the recent rains?
me too! on a shonky SS swift with jones bars, it'll be be ok, although i just follow the folks with the knowledge ...
Please report back. Thinking of a trip down there on Tuesday.....
Despite the amount of rain that's battered them, the Quantocks are presently as good as they get if not better than winter conditions.
Thursday I went up there and found everything crisp and in places almost dusty.
all the usual puddles are there along the ridge and in the leaf madden wooded combes you can enjoy the usual moist surface, slightly soft and roots and rocks safely hidden by a layer of leaf matter.
Beware though of a erosion gully part way up ladies edge and another hoofin deep chasm on the great road above the dog pound track.
it's safe to say the Tox are probably in the best condition of the year.
I'll be up there either on foot lurking away from the trails or on the bike very much on the trails.
More rain is due in after tomorrow, so Tuesday maybe wet under rubber.
So, get up there tomorrow and your bike will remain pretty much clean..
Sweet, good to hear.
Conditions on the Quantocks today where as Sharki said, very good, much better than about 4-5 weeks ago and maybe the best they have been for most of the year.
I was in smiths today, sat enjoying a brew when along came a shonky rattly singular. Eventually it passed by and I could resume my tea in tranquil silence.
😉
Smiths seemed popular today, at least 12 riders in 20 mins.
I've spent most of today there. Spent 3 hours up there with the dogs this morning, then decided to go home, get some food inside me and return with the bike this afternoon 😀
Might even go again tomorrow!
Sorry to hijack but have any of you guys got any recommended routes around the Quantocks or is it just a case of following your nose?
Got limited time available so any advice would be well received.
Knottie has loads, sponging machine on here could help too, I'll have a look to see if i have any, you got mail addy?
I was there this morning/lunchtime. There was sunshine and everything!

Not sure if this is any good but here's a few rides from my sports tracker phone app. I think you can download the gps files from here somewhere!
