Can someone please give me a steer on tyre pressure?

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.

Bottom paragraph is a tad ominous…

Reckon I’m also taking my long bibs with a rain jacket

Maybe a wetsuit too?

LOL

It is what it is,

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😅

Forecast has improved quite a bit in the last few hours, here's to hoping it's only 20mm and less!

I have to stop refreshing that app now..

But yes, the outlook is looking better 

Looks my first gravel event will be something to remember

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…

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

This was not the organiser's call, I think that's very clear.
