Good ride though. Cheeky 30-40mph wind, bit of mud in the woods, engagingly slithery elsewhere.
Anyone else captured the mud today?
Should've taken a piccy of my front mech area last weekend, couldn't see the mech at all thanks to a massive buildup of Ribbesford mud 🙂
Like this? 🙂

They're ace 🙂 Like the exmoor one, you can just see pound signs popping up all over it!
It's photos like those that make me very happy to be able to ride in teh Malverns 🙂 They do remind me of the Chilterns in winter. Fantastic trails in the summer just became soul destroying. And ruined them for next year as well.
Rained really hard here for 3-4 days including lobbing it down all last night.

No photos from today's ride as I forgot the camera, doh.
But it really is SS rigid/hardtail weather. Seeing people grinding along on their full-sussers makes me wince when it's like this!

There should be some good StarthPuffer mud pics along shortly 🙂
