But i have to clean the house before the inlaws arrive!

Can you put off the rain until tomorrow? I can go for a spin when my chores are done. Please.

Depends where you live, it seems. Won't be the last time this year though - we are being spoiled.

There is one corner on the Malvern's that's never dried out, ever. This year, however, it's been dry for about a month... đŸ˜¯
I think we've been spoilt this year

Was out ragging the brown pow last night in the dark. It was brilliant - pub stop and everything and really mild...

Straight after work for me too...not enough rain forecast in the SE to worry about it going gooey though, will make the dust loamy :-S ?

EDIT: although I just re-checked the forecast..hmmm. It'll dry out again. possibly.

Last year was epic dusty too but this has been mighty fine. Like it. Just airblast or brush the bike clean.

Off out at 6.00. Still riding the summer lightweight with race shoes and shorts. Feels strange to be fitting lights - it's currently 23.6 outside!

I've no idea what this "dry trail" you are referring to is? I was in Dent last night and while it is relatively dry the BW across Foul Moss, Blea Ghylls and Flow Moss was a wet boggy rutted puddle of fermented bogwater. In some parts of the Dales and Lakes it is never truly dry.

At the end of the ride there was just the sound of thousands of pounds of high technology being ground to utter worthless sh!t€

This evening the off-piste in Macc Forest was the driest I've ever seen, absolutely great fun but a little scary - I've never gone into some of the corners at such speed and come out alive.

A mate was able to go from the top to the bottom without any pedalling - unheard of!

Can we vote for this all the time please?

Very dry and dusty on the Chase off piste stuff today....bloody warm too. My tech tee weighed a ton when I was done...drenched in sweat. After a summer where work has got in the way of riding I feel like I've made the most of the recent dry trails...just as well with mini me due any day now.

I've enjoyed not cleaning the bikes either....both are caked in trail dust and can stay like that.

From today
