An early evening blast round the local tracks failed to beat the incoming rain - what has been dry and dusty since April proved to be a little slippy in places tonight.
I may even have to hose down the bike. 🙄
Still, glad I made the effort to go out - makes me appreciate the summer we've had round here even more.
*goes off to rummage for Trailrakers*
Doing my first one tomorrow night, wish me luck 🙂
Do you live in Africa?
Deepest darkest Derbyshire.... 😆
Brilliant trip around the local trails in Sheffield too old chap.
Happy days.
Lucky people.
Try West of Scotland.
Apparently the last recorded day of dry dusty trails pre dated the invention of the bicycle 🙁
Dry and dusty since April?????????? 😯
You should come and do a ride here in the Lakes 😉
Then you`ll know what wet n muddy REALLY is 😉
On avaerage i think we have 1 dry ride in 4........ 😐
Leafy, slippy, rooty, muddy fun in Shropshire tonight. Still bloody warm out though.
I was amazed how warm it was
Yup.
I learnt definitively that:
1. It's time to change to the Trailrakers
2. If you cack-handedly fail to charge the battery, and your main light dies, the woods are surprisingly scary even if you think you're a rational 6' grown-up who doesn't believe in supernatural crap and you know that statistically, the chance of being randomly attacked by a deranged feral maniac is many orders of magnitude lower than slipping the front wheel on a root and sustaining a fatal C1 and/or basal skull fracture.
What other sport allows you to get this range of emotion?
Got the mud x's out and had a quick blast round the local trails. I've missed the front wheel drifts on muddy downhills 😀
