Its fine at the top, but it does get puddly at the bottom, the best person to give us an idea would be dazer I think. Its hard to tell atm what it will be like tomorrow, last week it was slippery at the bottom of the runs but rideable, and I think its gonna be worse tomorrow.

I really fancy PORC however my gut feeling is its gonna be very wet there tomorrow as its been mostly wet weather the last few days and today. Thinking a good day at Danbury is better than a pants day at PORC. Only been PORC twice and was dry weather, it's made up of tight techi sections rock gardens big jumps/gaps and ladders so not ideal in the wet unless your Danny Hart..

Ill go with the majority though, anyone been there in the wet?

How's it going....

Would be nice to get a tour of Danbury, never been. Also, I guess that would mean a later leave from Chelmsford? Not sure I'll have time tonight to get the Detura's on though. Looks like nothing doing at Thorndon this weekend either.

Subject line change to Danbury?

ZTR Flow rims, but not adapted to tubeless yet. Currently running Maxxis HR's. So, they are hooked rims, which is fortunate as the tyres have a warning on them only to mount on hooked rims.

I think danbury gets my vote, this allows me a lie in after a rotten hangover I will no doubt get from tonite, the weather really is awful and tonbridge is just down the road from PORC. I think it best be to save it for a later date.

hehe, true, however:

1) Get to Chelmsford from London around 19:30 and bike home
2) Get Changed
3) Discuss animal death toll with g/f (she's a vet)
4) Forced to open beer
5) Forced to open another beer
6) Forced to open yet another beer

....it's now dark and raining, well, it was before I even made it home

7) Remember that tyres need changing on bike that is in the shed, in the dark, in the rain....I hate winter and I need a garage!

Or, I could just put my hand up when I walk in and state; "my bike needs me"....but I will probably have dinner thrown at me :mrgreen:

Think I agree, gonna be a washout at PORC, Danbury will be wet but still rideable and if stays dry tomorrow will drain off quick
