What's it riding like at the minute? Fancy something other than local woods tomorrow but don't want to drive too far.

It's crazy wet around here at the moment.

Wettest I can remember in years.

It will be in its worst possible condition I'm afraid.ย  I despise it when it's this wet.

Could be worse. Could be Northants clay like round here. Brilliant quick on the 2 or 3 days each year it's dry. Either the slippiest, slimiest surface ever or so claggy you could build a golem from it when it's wet.

Sounds like Sherwood is off the radar then - had hoped all the drainage work over the last couple of years had improved things.

Another local ride for me then, or a longer drive to Cannock and slippy cobbles, or a trip to Thetford and a well-drained but sandy pedalfest...
