Afan is fine in the rain, you just need a couple of sets of pads.

Pack your thermals too chaps/chapesses it just been sleeting a few miles away from Cwmcarn, and I'm guessing they'll be a light dusting of snow on the top too 😕
Still at least all the trail centres drain well eh!
Yeah and I'm riding tomorrow morning too, what tyres? 😯 , sorry only joking 🙂

Trail centres in the wet are generally OK because they drain well & are mainly rock based. It's when you are off the beaten track, knee deep in mud that it gets a bit choresome!!

It'll have to rain a hell of a lot more than this to make Afan unrideable!

I was axle deep in snow last night at Llandgegla. I suspect the rain over the next few days will clear it away.

Hope this helps.

Since I got back from an overseas work trip two weeks ago I've been rained on every day on the way to or from work... 🙁

Don't worry though, I'm going somewhere else next weekend, so it'll be warm and sunny then!

Bah...

I guess the Tao is your friend if you just do the reverse of this process? maybe?

There was a great drought where Wilhelm lived; for months there had not been a drop of rain and the situation became catastrophic. The Catholics made processions, the Protestants made prayers, and the Chinese burned joss sticks and shot off guns to frighten away the demons of the drought, but with no result. Finally the Chinese said: We will fetch the rain maker. And from another province, a dried up old man appeared. The only thing he asked for was a quiet little house somewhere, and there he locked himself in for three days. On the fourth day clouds gathered and there was a great snowstorm at the time of the year when no snow was expected, an unusual amount, and the town was so full of rumors about the wonderful rain maker that Wilhelm went to ask the man how he did it. In rue European fashion he said: “They call you the rain maker, will you tell me how you made the snow?” And the little Chinaman said: “I did not make the snow, I am not responsible.” “But what have you dont these three days?” Oh, I can explain that. I come from another country where things are in order. Here they are out of order, they are not as they should be by the ordnance of heaven. Therefore, the whole country is not in Tao, and I am also not in the natural order of things because I am in a discorded country. So I had to wait three days until I was back in Tao, and then naturally the rain came.”
