There is lots of data that shows that for off road riding that lower pressure is faster and obviously more comfortable. Basically as low as possible without pinch flatting or damaging a rim. cadenceblur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted July 27, 2023 Share They really should  just gooi that last 5km along the tar road if it is that wet again….for all your sakes. That mud wrestling wasn't fun at all…I pretty much had a sense of humor failure around that point😅 Mtree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtree Posted July 27, 2023 Share Forecast has improved quite a bit in the last few hours, here's to hoping it's only 20mm and less! cadenceblur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MongooseMan Posted July 28, 2023 Share Sunday would be… interesting, given 2 days of rain. I’d be surprised if the pont was operational. Now to work out if it’s still worth the trip to swellies… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeerpuD1 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Don’t the organisers  look at weather reports. Not much rain on Saturday during the morning. No worse than last year. How are people going to change their traveling and accommodation. Not many people will pitch up for a Sunday ride I think NC_lurker and Mtree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
