I went round Llandegla for the first time yesterday and after a night of p1ssing down rain it was fairly wet, but mostly grippy. The only place I lost traction was on a fairly steep rocky climb with a gully on the right hand side about 2/3 of the way round. As already said, the mud is pretty thin, so you never get bogged down – however you do get fairly well splattered. I was well pleased had my crud guard on, but still made good use of the jet wash. I was impressed that the jet wash wasn’t that powerful so I didn’t feel like i was harming my bike with it.
There was a gang of kids though that seemed intent on stopping and putting their bikes on the middle of the trail – at one instance on a steep switchbacky climb, right on the switchback. Got to the top and was told by my mate that he had told him to move it when he went past, but obviously the kid decided he wouldn’t bother. They’d done the same thing after the raised log bit – little 5h1ts.
