Thanks for gatekeeping my mud levels, oh glorious forum elitists. I bow down to thine superior sloppage, and worship thy most muddy of bicycles, oh great and powerful mud warriors! Soldier on in my stead, for mine tires doth surely lack grip. 🙏

Out last night. This is the memorial to the Shoreham airshow crash. Hard to see but the memorial is on the bank of the river Adur & the semi circle of lights on the other side lines up when you look through the arch. 11 lights, one for each victim.

Mud!
Focus mud_1600_1200.jpg


My previous bike, a Focus Jam2. I had already stopped and scraped some mud off and came across two walkers coming the other way. I asked what the mud was like and they said that it hadn't bothered them. So instead of turning around I pressed on. The mud was worse. The motor would have kept going, but I was concerned that the mud would strip the paint from the frame. So, I stopped and used sticks to drag the clay mud from the frame. 100 yards further on I had to do it again. I was OK after that.

I was riding through a lake of similar gloop in the middle of a wood once. As I got further in, it got deeper and deeper. Every pedal stroke just span the back wheel and I moved forward about an inch with every stroke. The mud was holding me upright, and it seemed to take forever to get through it . As I finally emerged victorious , I got a round of applause from a group of walkers who, unseen by me, had been watching my efforts from the sidelines.

Initially misread that as "... a group of wankers who ..."
