Depends where, Winter hill turns into a bit of a bog. Other trails are pretty rocky so tend to be okay.

I do but I'm afraid I have to be home quite early for fatherly/family duties. I'll have been out for a 50 miler, got home and then gone out for another ride with my lad before you sip that first pint. ๐Ÿ˜‰

forecasts are like camping in a tent in the rain

it always sounds worse than it really is.

Family motto from years of experience - 'Never be put off by the forecast'.

Anyway in answer to your question Neil, Rivi holds up fine in the clag. It just eats drivetrains for fun.
