Thanks Edric64, I’ve mastered riding mud and limboing under branches. I ride through the mud all winter (&summer this year) but I quite enjoy riding in the dry too.
As for branches, mother nature can reclaim a trail very quickly without a helping hand.
I suppose it depends on where you live. Round here in Bradford we have lots of woodland. Over the years I have opened loads of good, techy lines by uncovering old paths that have become overgrown. The way I look at it, more paths means less pressure on the existing ones. And boggy sections will only get worse.
If you like boggy stuff then I apologise if I spoil your fun 🙂
