90% certain I'll be there. Will know best by Wednesday.

Im definatly in. Weather does not look to bad either but then again that could all change during the week.

Officially not in. Have to do things with outlaws that day.

However, I'll be riding the longer loop of the Hebden Love Loop on Sunday - about 85km, if anyone fancies joining me.

Sorry I can't make it, apparently we have a "pretend Christmas" at the in laws, ffs
Hope you have a good one.

Is that local? We could sneak out and have an "Essex" Winter Bivi

I'm going to have to bail too. Family stuff to sort out on Saturday...

Hoping to get out on Sunday instead.

Have a good one everybody

Yup I'm still in! Weather looks Ok and I have some kit to test before winter event

Jokes aside, I'd be up for that! (Although I actually can't do anything before the Winter Event, so maybe just an Essex bivi)

ooh i'm guessing it may be a little soggy - are people opting for tents or tarps?

Currently pissing it down here. Not due to stop till tomorrow. If you're going tarp, bring a groundsheet - ground is sodden everywhere.

To be fair the forecast has been changing every 5 mins this week.
First sunshine, then frost, then snow now heavy rain.

Wait 5 mins and it'll probably change again......

True. I'll still be riding tonight and on Sunday anyway :)

I'm just awaiting the arrival of Mike and Scott so we can embark on the winter bivvy Cymru ... weather's awful, forecast's up and down by the minute, just hoping my knowledge of 'walled' bivvy spots is up to scratch.

tbh everywhere is dryer than where i am up in kendal at the moment hahahaha

Sorry Chew, I'm gonna have to bail out of this one.
Have got the cold/ flu type/ virus thingy that has worked its way around my family and friends.
I would be no good to man nor beast! Well pissed off!!!!!
Hope you all have a good one.
Adam.

With the current forecast (think canoe requirements) it may be wise to have a later start time/more time in the pub.

I'll have a look at the forecast at 4 and make the call.

well i have made a ground sheet from a large plastic bag ! so will be fine ( other thn the fact im in a half tarp and bivi bag Set up so my head might be dry is atleast .. though looks ok over night atm!

I may be home relativity early on Saturday evening - so if people are bailing to the pub post here and I'll wander down and find ye. Worst case people can crash on my floor/garage if it all goes to sub standard.

CHANGE OF START TIME

Righto......The weather forecast for tomorrow is looking a tad wet



Instead of meeting at 12 for a 1pm start, i'm suggesting we delay that to 3pm meet for a 4pm depart.

I can shorten the route to the pub and hopefully by then the worst of the rain will have passed. Also the bonus of a few more more hours in bed for those out partying tonight (Wenchie i'm looking at you)

Any issues drop let me know

Cool beans! See u at 3! In sunny Hebden

That works fine with me looking at the forecast. See you tomorrow

(Wenchie i'm looking at you)

Who me!? I'm home and (almost) tucked up in bed

Going to have to bail out of this one it just going to be too wet for my first time out under the stars I'm not normally put off by the weather but want to enjoy it

Looks like it will be Ok overnight according to bbc

Don't tell Jase about the delayed start.....
He might turn up early for the new start time for a change.
Ride safe and stay dry...
