At long last, here’s to the clocks changing, summer approaching and dry, dusty trails on the horizon…

So, if I'd postponed yesterday's ride until today, I could have avoided the slop...?

If it all turns to freezing, wet sh1te at this point ... we know who to blame, don't we?

Ermmm

Doesn't summer just mean the rain is warmer?

I went over the same mucky nud today as I did the last ride on Friday. But (maybe!?) the slightly summery atmosphere met the muck was less sloppy but more clingy. So it attacked my jockey wheels and I had to find sticks to 'cockroach' it out.

But on the upside, when my drige train wasnt trying to seize up there wss a nice little atmosphere going on. The winter fleece jacket didn't need to keep coming on and off - it stayed on along with my two merino jersey/baselayer. Plus the hat, once it and the winter gloves came off, my fingers didn't freeze up straight away

Can't wait for the slop to dry over

Give this a go and the "freezing" bit of your description will be least of your worries

You’d have to take some sticky pads for your tent guys to anchor to…
