. I thought it would be dry and didn't want to "switch" to avoid it, but then it went squelch under the tyres and next thing I heard you sounding like you were trying to wash the mud off your new bike with vomit.
Very enjoyable ride, my first mtb ride and really enjoyed it. I need to get a new cable for the rear brake (as it's fraying) and I need to tighten it a bit. The bit where I slid off was a near vertical drop that I had to basically skid all the way down but couldn't slow enough and the front got stuck in a boggy, leafy bit. Slow keeling over sideways on to soft ground though so quite a comfy landing.
Couldn't even begin to remember where we went, but thanks to everyone for the ride?
A couple of great downhills, one near suicidal with a softish rear brake, and a couple of great climbs. Real steep buggers.
I guess you'll be changing tyres pretty soon though Marco, but thanks for collecting all the punctures of the day and leaving the rest of us free from them.
Does anyone know the distance of the ride as I don't have a computer on the mtb.
Now that's magic
. I did about an hour yesterday on the mtb thrashing around some muddy bridle paths trying to burn off the frustration of chain suck. Fun - but pretty placid compared to you lot - sounds like good adrenalin pumping stuff.
