Yes it was a bit wet/muddy but it could have been worse!

Thanks for the accolade Nick! I did think prior to the ride I might struggle with the road biased tyres (Avon Gripster both wheels) but they did cope admirably(for me) and yes did seem to fair better than the bikes shod with TKC's?

Hope to see you and Martin again soon and may plan a ride out down on Wiltshire/Dorset borders using the Shaftesbury/Ox drove if any forum members are interested?

I will post it up on rideouts/meetings section when I have given it a bit more thought.
