  • Wont be able to make it i'm afraid, work sprung a meeting with a customer in Southall on me this afternoon for tomorrow.

    However just got back home from riding the route.

    Don't bother with Olympic ridge as the route is covered in leaves etc and the route through the trees isn't visable unless you want to ride through and get lost and have fun in there.

    Other than that the going is good to soft patches and a couple of boggy bits.
    I've just come out of there the dryist and least muddy I have for a couple of weeks.

    Looks like we dodged the weather bullet... been pissing it down the rest of today! This is the course I tried to take us on (incase anyone cares!)

    If you remember the first crossing of the bridge led to some confusion after we went straight on and Damon was determined it went through that boggy ditch! Well, boggy ditch aside, he was mainly right... Thats the couple of Km we missed out! Ho hum. Fun either way.

    Amazing Ben, that looks almost like the map further up. Not that it helps me at all, with my rubbish sense of direction and barely functioning memory, which is why I follow people. If either worked I'd leave you all for dust.
