That's either a deep puddle, or you may nneed some mo're preload on

 

[Lars1974]

if my memory serves me right - the hole was short and deep!

Suspension is OK - linkage a bit seized but i think now free'd after the abuse of the Hafren!

here are another couple of pics...

and one last one...

Anyone doing the Hafren this year?

What’s the going like? Ruts and snot or gravel and fire roads?

Not done it for a few years, but it used to be both.

It depends on the weather and when I did it there was plenty of everything but I was riding a 250EXC so didn’t care

Entered...

Wrefird and others- is this all held on private land or does it traverse public roads where a licence is necessary..

Hafren

Simon Hewitt has entered on a new 1250 Gs hp. Should be interesting!

It look and sounded very neat and he rode it with great ease... I was due to start behind him on one stage until a person with a lower number came forward not that would have made any difference, the only time I would have seen him was as he set off

Great event with great trails which by the third lap had be completely knackered. Hertfordshire lanes just don’t have the same relentless dips, bumps, roots, drop downs, step ups and all that stuff that shows up a lack of bike fitness

 

[Wreford Miles]

....how it’s properly done

 

[Wreford Miles]

....Noel still going strong and fast on his Airhead

And there was an entrant going by the name of Steven Noble, a bit of a comedian I reckon

Took a poll and wrangling to get it off BMW early!

 

[g00ner]

I bottled it but my chum went on his 690, waiting on results now. I’m buying the beers if he’s top 5 in class

 

[g00ner]

I’m buying, he won the big bike class
