Hey All

Went riding at Bedgebury on Sunday and found that all the tracks were wet, very muddy and very very slippery! is there any plans to sort this problems out? Thank god for the power hose!

if you do ride down there any suggestions on tyres - user proracers at the moment - need some grip!!

also rumour has it there is black run - at top of 2nd Hill - very long and at the top it turns into a gulley - heard there is black run a the top of this - true or down right lie?

Let me know your thoughts

    i rode there a few times last winter, gave up eventually because the mud got ridiculous. i've never seen any trails that get as muddy as bedgebury. one of the wooden gates that you have to get off and walk around was under about 4 inches of water last winter, which made it interesting trying to get through it! that was the last time i went in the rain because it went beyond funny.
    i used tioga dh's 2.1 and got on fine with them, but then i used them all year round for every trail, no matter what the weather. ill be using kenda nevegals when i brave it up there again, if they dont work it'll be back to the trusty tioga's!
    i've never heard or seen anything about a black run. to be honest, even if there was, i cant imagine its very black as bedgebury suffers from a severe lack of elevation change, so i cant imagine it being very hard or fast. presuming it exists! let me know if you find it though!
