too wet!-went up to have a look when sun was out today & just did first part of Kenny's til I could get off to City Rd then came back onto Double Barrel & Twisties-both heaps wet & slippery as rain had started again!!!-so back up to Gun Club Rd & out of gate.

Do you have more information?

with this sun out wet tracks are not going to stop everyone-go for a spin Renno-tracks like Snakes n Ladders/Buckshot & Q-loop will be dry & at the extreme Bailey's will be a mess!

Renno, i just made my bike number 2 designated wet weather bike crud catcher front down tube, rear mud guard, a mucky nutz fork mounted (stops mud from your face and front), and a stretched inner tube around rear triangle to stop mud going into BB, lower pivots, drivetrain etc. makes riding in the wet rediculously more comfortable, protects a lot of the bike as well.

Second, i leave the mud around BB, pivots, hubs in place - it dries and stops water getting in - its water AND mud that wrecks things IMO. just clean the drive train with alittle running water, then rag, and rag clean the shock surfaces, re lube chain with something suitable for wet weather - about 5 minutes, and hose off your legs to keep the wife happy (mud in shower not conducive to marital rights)

that set up makes the firetrail runs more than acceptable

Just went up to Glenrock then, it's drying out.

I'll leave the cleaning till tomorrow...
