What tyres should I bring?
– Something with volume, about 2.3″, but lightish. Our faves are Conti Vertical 2.3s. Maxxis run a pretty similar tread and the new Conti Mountain Kings look quite nice too. · Can I come on my own? – Absolutely, about half of all people do. By the time you’ve tucked into your meal on the first evening you’ll have made new friends. And even if you’re a really horrible person, Sam and Co. are paid to like you so you’ll have at least five buddies! · Do many women go? – Yes, independently, as parts of larger groups and even dragging their other halves kicking and screaming! If you’re the only girl in your group and would like to know there’ll be some more when you get here then give us a shout and we’ll point you towards the best weeks. · How should I pack my bike for flying? – Right, we’ll start with the basics and get progressively more anally retentive from there. Just follow the list until you can’t be arsed, chuck everything in your bag/box and you’ll be right! 1. Take off your pedals
