"I'll think about it. What's it like in the wet?"

Like any wet techy trails. Great!

Coming along?

Hi!

But absolutely fucking great on the downs. :-)

Most trails are doable rigid, but it depends on how much work you want to put in on the trails. Could be hard work, could also be rewarding.

Ride Redlands before it's completely felled.

Redlands in Surrey, near Dorking, is being felled. Some trails in the middle of the woods are destroyed, but some of the very best trails are still intact.
If anyone wants to ride this great little spot before it's all gone (the forestry operations are definitely targeting trails first in the commercial logging areas of the forest, this is part of a long term aim to deter trail building in the area from what I've seen).
I can guide you around, I know the area pretty well. Would be a good time to try what I think is the best riding in that area of Surrey. Better riding than Peaslake for me.
Expect involved, rooty, steep and fast techy trails. Kind of light enduro, for want of a better description.

Maximum number of riders will be 6, of course. There are already two attending so four more only.

Register interest here as I need to have a totally accurate head count.

Google Maps link for the car parking bay to meet:

If people are travelling to Dorking stations by train I can meet them at the station.

No.

Just go ride your bike, Neil.

ffs

.

Some trails will be same sort of thing as Redlands. Some more like Pitch Hill, but less blown out.

Thinking about organising another ride in the Surrey Hills if anyone is interested.
Can guarantee hardly any of you will know the trails.
Anyone up for it?

Will our freaking get collected too?

Redlands is a great riding spot.

Bourg Saint Maurice/Tignes/Val D'isere.

I love it that much.

I'm in.

No probs. Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm well tired too now.

Always wondered why you carried that tripod with you and had the camera set up so quick for bog disappearances.

And always wondered why they never made it on to LFGSS.

They must be in your trophy file...

Photos are too poor a monument to such moments. :-)

And they happen to quick to capture. Like when I went over the bars on a steep switch back and quavered my front wheel in a rut.

Maybe when we all have personal drones filming all our unforgiving moments.

For sure.

As you were clutching that tree stump I was busy recalling the many times I did exactly the same thing. :-D

Thanks for the ride and company, @Howard, @Dogs, @Cloak/Dagger. Really enjoyed it apart from my messing up guiding around Leith.

@lowbrows, hope you and your shifter are okay. Sorry to miss you.

I'm proper knackered now.
