Sorry Aslan, but can't make the BBQ friday. While you guys are eating and boozing, I'll be wrestling with my new back tyre (and boozing). Been a busy week, so my bike is no where near prepared. All going well, I'll see you all at the start line Saturday morning.

Joe - I reckon we'll be going unless there's a hurricane

As for your new tyres and the terrain I expect you'll be fine! I'm looking at my half worn rear D606 and fretting over whether I've enough tread left

As the Nike folk say 'Just do it eh!'
cheers

I have still got my Crappy road biased summer rear tyre on ( IRC TRAIL WINNER GP110 ) so it will make the off road sections a bit more of an adventure.

Might be down the tail end of the field with the bigger bikes
