Hottest ride of the year so far but still plenty of mud

Forecast was dry & warm yesterday but when i was up at Stanley it was raining & cold! today the forecast was right - red hot with sunny spells between the clouds. Time for one last ride of the week before the weekend starts. I took my Carbon Grease for some local fun on the trails. I was surprised at just how wet & muddy the singletrack sections were. Its going to take a couple of weeks with little rain to dry them out again and get the dust flying. Below are some photos from the ride - enjoy 

First bridge crossing of the day

My favourite sign disappearing into the under growth

Rivery Browney is calm

Through Croxdale Estate

Rotten core of tree that has been felled

Found the cut out wedge

 

Lambs fatting up now

Blosom blowing onto the tack

Mud glourious mud !

Puddle of doom has filled back up again, this can reach your bb at times
