Has anyone been riding the Friston trails in the last few weeks? I'm eager to get back but want to avoid the sticky chalk mud.
[i]want to avoid the sticky chalk mud. [/i]
I think June the 23rd is designated 'non sticky chalk mud' day for Sussex this year 😉
Probably right, I'm just hoping the upside to the recent drought might be drier trails over there. Bedgebury has been uncharacteristically less boglike lately
I think that places that tend to hang on to moisture are all still fairly muddy at the moment so if you know there's bits that are normally a bit gloopy they'll probably still be squishy.
Just need those trees to start drinking now
Was in the forest on Sunday, fireroads and main tracks are good as is the SDW at the mo, but in the forest was mixed, if you know the not so secret 'secret trail' the top half was a mudfest, front and rear clogging up and sliding on roots and in mud, still patches of water up there, had to pedal lots to keep going, the bottom half was quite dry and ok. I'll be avoiding it for a few weeks yet! But I did notice some new posts going in on this route, think it might become a marked route soon?
