Had a hectic week so going to see how I feel tomorrow and maybe head out in the afternoon, apologies!

IMO it's unlikely it will get to perfect indexing (on anything above 8spd) again from that point. Worth a try, but I would take it to a shop where they can use a proper tool, but there's always a chance of snappage when it's bent that far. At least you've got an EBB so can SS/hub gear if the hanger is RIP.

congrats @hippy. ending with iconic cycling style of long sock/short sock.

@IR is having car troubles so we running late. Will let you know how late to expect asap.

Okay, in, see y'all there.

Is there a tea hut equivalent in Thetford or is it BYO-cake?

I'd go with a frame bag and some toe straps/something to attach the sandals under your saddle.

Yep that should be fine.

very sad to hear this. rip eric.

largely jumping lols. The heat makes it endurance training though I think?

@Howard 10am Chingford? Have to be back by around 2pm.

I'll be in the forest tomorrow, doing a bit of getting lost, a bit of going to things that I know.
Feel free to @ if you wanna come.

A lot of riders who had done TCR said the same thing last year.

food/servo/shop isn't too bad, just things close quite early, a lot of petrol station meals for me. I gave up being vegan about 2 or 3 days in cause I was spending too much time in shops reading ingredients lists (stayed vegetarian).

There were a couple of times towards the end of the race when I was really trying to get ahead of Jason Woodhouse that I almost really fucked up in terms of food. I was cutting it fine and ended up bonking a bit in the last 100 miles which I think is what made me have to stop in Kinsale and nap for a few hrs before heading on.

Got the route to the trail of mis-forktune in my brain now after getting to it today. Will be able to lead to it next time I head out with others.
Now just need to find singletrack way to it...

Really frustrated by his words/actions in this race. Totally flies in the face of what self-supported ultra racing is about. Should be DQ'd and listed as DNF imo.

Edit: (what self-supported ultra racing means to me)

bit too rich for my blood at the moment :/
If y'all decide on a date, I may try to organise riding up and back and making a weekend out of it, but don't organise around me.

Same boat as @howard, if I can get up there with ludicrous expenditure then yes.

Ohhhhh, is that it! Yeah that bit is kinda sketchy, very fast and sort of shoots you into the air.

I don't think I've ever been to Indra's Folly! Though I've heard tales...

remote badgering

sweet, thank you! I knew it was near debden, but couldn't find it. Going to try and find a reliable route to it :)

I think it is that bit? It's got a rope swing at the top, and to the lefto f where the rope swing is the trail starts, it's sort of a roll in with a jump at the bottom, comes down to a left turn down a little rooty drop, then is quite quick all the way down. I think it might be near Theydon?

I don't know if any of that info helps at all.

being in the air is srs bsns

3 reps of the red sticky hill was more than enough though.
We need guidance to the location of the fun bit with the rope swing at some point if anyone is able to assist.

v good ride.
The full sus suits you! Many rads.
