An early evening blast round the local tracks failed to beat the incoming rain - what has been dry and dusty since April proved to be a little slippy in places tonight.

I may even have to hose down the bike. 🙄

Still, glad I made the effort to go out - makes me appreciate the summer we've had round here even more.

*goes off to rummage for Trailrakers*

Lucky people.
Try West of Scotland.
Apparently the last recorded day of dry dusty trails pre dated the invention of the bicycle 🙁

Yup.

I learnt definitively that:

1. It's time to change to the Trailrakers
2. If you cack-handedly fail to charge the battery, and your main light dies, the woods are surprisingly scary even if you think you're a rational 6' grown-up who doesn't believe in supernatural crap and you know that statistically, the chance of being randomly attacked by a deranged feral maniac is many orders of magnitude lower than slipping the front wheel on a root and sustaining a fatal C1 and/or basal skull fracture.

What other sport allows you to get this range of emotion?

Got the mud x's out and had a quick blast round the local trails. I've missed the front wheel drifts on muddy downhills 😀
