Ah well never mind. Few guys on here doing that I think, Rufus is flying over from Norway for it!!
I rode Ae the other month, wasnt too fussed tbh but most of it was closed off (fallen down bridge?) and I got fed up of the endless climb and miles of fireroad diversion and just went home before what I now believe is the best bit!
Going there tomoz to see if they've sorted that bridge yet. They need it all ready for next weekend. Depending on weather I may troll round it all. I've not done the whole route this year yet. It's a bit of a struggle at points as the route doesn't flow too well. But I believe they are to be spending money on it this year, or so I was told!
I'm gonna harass Steve in the bike shop as well - I canny undo the aheadset bolts at all ... I'm no strong enough and I'm sure it's full of mud!! I'll no doubt be in for another bout of sarcasm from him, cos he well told me off last time for not keeping it clean ...
