Where to ride when it's wet?

[Glenn Hurlow]

I'm new to the MTB scene, being a trail runner needing an outlet while I decide what to do about a torn meniscus that has stopped me running. My favourite trail runs were in the rain, so I am keen to replicate that on my bike. I don't want to damage trails by riding them in the wet though. Are there any trails or a paved / hard enough pump track that can be ridden in the wet? Preferably single track or something that I can continue practicing my woeful jumping skills on. I live in Somerset West but will travel. Thanks in advance!

Specialized has a artificial surface pump track at Blauklippen:

Otherwise just pick your routes and ride trail that is stony and drains quickly. I like Botmaskop for this. Firehut in Jonkerhoek also tends to dry out quickly. Eden forest too (well most sections). Even g-spot drains pretty quickly, but ja, like you said, don't (please don't!) ride wet trails where you leave ruts in the mud.
