    hello
    was there yesterday
    no its not too bad mud wise but be prepared to loose half a disk pad and shortern your chainsets life span
    the sand there is horrible at the moment due to it being so wet it just drinds all the way round

    Oooops - too late :lol:
    Definate mud x conditions! I've just got back, rode the red route Friday and conditions were really good - today though it was very muddy, great fun all the same, and funnily enough I was only 5 mins slower than on Friday. I reckon new pads are probably in order now :wink:

    I did it in 2.44 today, being on my own I didn't hang about or have any stops. Brakes were still working ok - but not sounding too healthy!

    Dalby eats brake pads for breakfast!!! I went through a new (bedded in) set of sintered in ONE sitting doing the full red in wet conditions! All I can say is thank god for cheap pads!!
