Definitely very uncommon here in Arizona. This fire road is in a flood control area, but I've never seen it impassable before. Also that mud was absolutely insane. It was like mortar mixed with gear oil. The good thing is that it had absolutely zero traction, so when it packed up and locked up the tire, I was able to safely slide all the way to the scene of the crash. I had to pull the bike over to the grass to get any traction to re-start the ride out.

What do you expect with a forum handle such as Swampnut? 😁

Call that mud? This is mud!

The bike was up for it, but if I had kept going, the mud on the tyres would have worn off the paint on the stays.

Even less EMTB than Binhill ... but it was pretty ?!?!

Mate had completely stripped his Ranger auto transmission trying to find a fault ..

This valve oilway looks like someone spent 6 months trying to come up with something to justify their time to create a part of guide oil for 7 valves .. Obviously it's more than that - but it still looks crazy :)

I was in two minds about turning out this afternoon as I'm up at Kielder tomorrow with @The EMF in what's looking like it going to be a very windy ride ..but as the missus was out drinking & dining & generally hob-nobbing it at a girly 50th birthday celebration..and with nothing better to do I travelled 45mins down the road and did a beyond Bolts Law there & back.
Having left it until mid afternoon I was chasing the light on the way back ..but had a great couple of hours in +c temps & brilliant sunshine 🌞
One or two pics ..

Well I just got home from my wèe ski jaunt , nobody home . Maureen is awa to a Burns supper so I expect I will be getting Tam O Shanter in my ear all night when she gets home . I've put my dirty washing in and drunk a few glasses of whisky what more could I do .
