A new experience...wasn't...

I have a point. \o/ 40 years and I finally say something credible. It's like coming of age. My 1999 was shite. Can't even remember where I was. Wish I had of been out with you guys in the silly snow. Our problem was muddy water leaping out of puddles as we were destorying the 5mm of ice on the top. It is QI that even when the frames are covered in a fine protective layer (TF2)...it is no match for the muddy water + wind combination...

Ride as hard as you can as often as you can. Work out what events you want to enter and tailor your rides to match the duration, then get very good at pushing yourself until you taste blood and can hardly see for that length of time. Peripheral vision is for the person who comes second. 456 Scott Pompino Inbred WIP

Best tyres
Published (2009-12-17 09:37:00)
Nic F & R are good all-rounders. Swap the back for a Ralph if it's dry or a thinner Nic/Medusa/Dirty Dan if it's wet. High Roller XC F & Crossmark R is a good 3-season combo. Intense EX/DC very grippy, less expensive than Nics but heavier. Maxxis Advantage good on loose terrain.

Check out Schwalbe Rocket Rons - not cheap, but a great all round tyre. Scott Scale 20 (for xc racing) Gary Fisher HKEK (for commuting)

Keep on doing that, and you'll find your fitness levels will shoot through the roof. Nearer the event i'd start to increase your riding time to about 3hrs depending on what enduro you want to do.

So we all know it is cold and are preparing accordingly with layers and wind/water shields...etc Didn't think about the bike much though apart from the ritualistic clean and oil. With these climatic conditions, off road static puddles have the tendancy to be covered in a thin layer of ice, which make a great noise when they are unavoidable. The problem kicks in with the muddy water...
