    The second great cambs/bedfordshire/northamptonshire mud run

    About 18 months ago we rode from graffham water to northampton using all the greenlanes just before they closed. Last year a great majority of them were closed due to 4x4 damage. Mudwiz and I will be checking over the next couple of weeks to comfirm they are open so we plan to ride them on the 19th of april.
    These are long lanes, some are a little muddy,some are grassy but all are do-able by any competant rider none are too technical that a novice greenlaner would not get through on either xr or xl or xrv.
    I'll post it in the callendar so stick your names down.
    The meeting point will be the services at buckden on the A1 and the finish point will be somewhere near rushden or higham ferrers.
    If we finish early we can have a few laps round a special little place I know of (mudwiz,littleport,rockoz and grumpyolgit have been there and it will be drier this time boys) have a look at some of the pics here
    Muddy Beds Byeways.
    This was in the winter,we've had some good weather lately and i'm hoping for more so if you fancy about 50 miles of laning and country lanes sign up.
    I'll try and sort a map out later.

    you'll be fine mate, better leave the screws out though,makes passing through quicker and less bruising when examining the flora and forna

    May have planned this weekend to be at the rugby club VP lunch Saturday and on my own at home for the weekend so an early rise Sunday and up to you could be in order.
