You mtb lot are weird... I thought a mtb route was supposed to be' date=' um, not smooth, and I thought mud was "cool".... Um, if it was smooth and "mud-less" wouldn't it just be a road ride?Confused [/quote']

 

Mud is fun, that is when you can ride through it. Here they had to place board so one can ride on these, by lap 2 the boards was all over the place. Had  to do a bit of walkingthrough the mud to get to points where you could start riding again after you cleaned your drive train.

Ha ha - the tale of two laps! First one across the bards in a flash - the second one - boards everywhere and squwelchy black mud EVERYWHERE. It was quicker on the second lap to run most of the mud...

 

The rest is kinda average though - flat and fast and fun - the road crossing was crap and there were long sections where bunching was an issue...

I've only done the route when its dry and found it not too bad, but then there were not many other riders on the route so no congestion. I think the orgs have done the best they can for the area they got.

haven't heard of or had any trouble so far... we use it on weekday mornings as well... most weekends there are groups there, try join one of them to be safe? Ask Lee, a group starts from his shop.
