Whilst washing my bike after a ride last night it made me realise that I hadn't had to do that since May. It has really been an amazing summer in Northeast Scotland, even when it has rained, the ground has been so dry that it just sucked the water up. Even the peaty trails that turn into a bog in wet weather are still riding well. Probably never see a summer like it again.
How are everyone else's trails riding at the moment?
Until the last 24 hours they've been dusty... today, i rekon they may be damp/muddy, will find out in about an hour.
Even had to wash mine in the summer due to the levels of dust. Gone muddy now and was completely filthy from a quick evening ride. Might be switching to the old 90's MTB with a rear splash guard - getting sick of washing down the camelbak
Good point. My FlareMax (bought at the end of April) has never been washed 🙂
Probably never see a summer like it again.
Wouldnt put money on that given current trends.
With the heavy rain had a few times where surface mud has been back but only lasted a day or so. Even what should have been a stream/river almost dried up completely at the height. Reckon tomorrow will be pretty dry with even the normal year round mudbaths being dust again or possibly a minute dodgable puddle.
