Damn I hate making decisions.

Maybe I'll call round & see if I should. Thanks for the offer Nordie.

Really looking forward to it - It's gonna get me thru the week

You can't miss it. It's this big brown building thing and ummm... the track ends at it...

According to my pics it's only 6 mins (at our pace) past the sign for the old school.

It's the wheel-house for the mineshaft.

Speaking of tyres, I'm guessing it's pretty much all farmland on Sunday i.e nothing too rocky?
Any advice on tyre pressures for my little buddy?
Can't got too low - no rimlocks. I'm thinking 17/18psi?

As low as you can go.
I'll be looking at 18f/20r on the DR even with a front rimlock just cause it's a heavy bike and I don't want pinch flats.
