I'm going swamp front, highroller back, both in 2.35". I agree that spikes aren't really the one for Rheola. Hs rained on and off most of the week, was dry enough for trails on Wednesday mind but it's pi**ed down since!!

Catch you there...

so come on then , some local knowledge. Never ridden rheola, been booked into the uplift 3 times and had to pull out for various reasons, only ever made it to mountain ash for the uplift.

Its going to be wet tomorrow, so is it worth the 3 + hour drive for me to get there?  Roll Eyes

i hear its a pretty s**t hot course

.................. if you want to commit suicide. Grin hehe.

Nah realtively steep track, not too bad, very nice course though.

The top section and the chute are the dogs. Wish there were a few more jumps/drops though......

Havent been up there for a long while so dont know what its like at the moment.

But thumbs up to a very good track, and if its gunna be wet, then swamp'ers all the way.
