Looks like I will be having to dig out that box of skills along with the Goretex.

WTF?! You must be a southerner if you are complaining it's raining. Just think of it this way, as soon as you are soaked you can't get any wetter..

Yeah, first rain in about 4 months round here I think!

Garden needs it though. And a lot of our trails are way too dusty as well ๐Ÿ™‚

Loddrik how dare you. I may live down here now but I was born and bred in south Manchester!

Thing is as Peter says, it hasn't rained down here for months so we've kind of got used to simply dusting ourselves off and throwing the bikes in the garage.

Having said that, the trails really did need a bit of rain as they were getting seriously blown out.

Hasn't really rained down here at all this summer, and when it does it pretty much gets soaked up straight away. Lovely.

Whooop whooooop - Surrey Hills riding like a greasy weasle! Soooooo much fun.

A lot of the dusty top soil has been washed out and the roots are as slippy as all hell but man it's fun.

Bloody annoying, I want to go out on the bmx, but the last 2 nights it's been wet. I need to practise some bits I was trying on Sunday...
