As some of you will know, Tetley and I had a trial run of the green lane route, ably assisted by Kevm on his Triumph Scrambler 1200 on, let's say, less than ideal tyres.
I have been asked for feedback and having Kev along gave us a good idea of what is and isn't possible.
We've decided that Tetley will lead the group for the full route, and I will lead those who wish to avoid the more slippery lanes and we'll reconvene at the end of the dodgy sections.
On the whole, most of the lanes were big bike, shit tyre friendly. If you were thinking of coming on the green lane ride and need new tyres, knobbly ones would be good.
For those with 60/40 road/off road tyres and whose tyres look better than Kev's, 80% of the day's route will be fine.

. The lanes are great fun and so are the minor roads to get to them.
