You're all soft. I had weetabix with frosties on top ' because I could' and then because this am was the only possible free riding time today, off I went. Hammered down in the car and the first few minutes of a Swinley ride, and then the clouds cleared and it was sun all the way!!
Tell you one thing though. Muddy miles are about three times harder than dry ones.
Tell you another thing. I know some complain about the armouring of some trails of the at Swinley, but try riding the Stickler today. First 200yds from the far end (from LSP) are AWFUL, before the armouring starts and then it was wet and a bit puddly but a dream in comparison. Ditto the Seagull and Tank Traps. SEncapsulates perfectly why these high traffic trails need assistance.
