Cycling: Slippery When Wet

Post by speedbird591 »

The weather was perfect today for going cross country, but the last few weeks of rain is still trying to drain away!

No matter - getting filthy is half the fun :)

I managed to stay on - just!

Theres nothing wrong with them. In fact they are a sensible choice for most riders.

I just enjoy getting splattered! :xgrin:

Heh, brings back memories when we'd all go for bike rides and get absolutely caked in the stuff. There is a decent sized wood nearby with some rather good opportunities for having fun and getting hurt :) I'd usually come back with one of my wheels a bit bent too :lol:
