Just realised why I don’t ride down this trail in the winter much!
I bet all the Californians are jealous.

What brand and type is the splash guard at the back you are using?
MuckyNuttz. I think it was designed for the front (29”) so I had to modify it for the rear. Used Velcro and zips, helps protect the paint but it pretty solid. Did the same for my neighbors Rail 7. Keeps the large chunks away from the bottom pivot …and if you go fast enough, less spray on your back.

Good to see you made it back with that pesky cat around ?
They caught and relocated one young cougar but now there are 8 in the area. Two schools got shut down because of separate sightings in the fields.
Broke a brake lever in a slow OTB yesterday.
Another two schools shut down for two different Covid variants.
Saw two Hummingbirds fighting.
Snow and rain and sun every day.

@Stihldog Are Cougars protected then? To have to close schools means they are a serious threat.
I suppose its the same with Alligators further south in the USA, in that they are a serious threat, but people have learned to live with it.

If a big cat was loose pretty much anywhere in the UK, the Police/Army would not rest until it was captured or dead.

You need a special hunting license for cougars, and cougar hounds. (Not much of a sport IMO). This is a yearly thing but it’s a strange weather year. The prey is pushed down by the weather therefore the cougars follow. More sightings each day so everyone is taking precautions. No one wants to hear that a predator has been taken down. Conservation officials will trap and relocate.

It's a relatively new bothy Steve ..and as such is not really that well known ...but it is one of the nicest I've come across...
There are a few locally ( within 20 miles of each other ) ..Green near Stonehaugh ..Roughside, Flittingford ,Wainhope & Spithope ..all in good condition

What is the procedure when several groups arrive at the same time ?
1st in best dressed ?

Are they magnetic clips on your pedals ?

Yeah. Magpeds.
Can’t keep my left foot on flats and can’t get out of spd’s. Once you get use to the stronger magnets they work great. A metal plate goes in place of the spd clip. I can hear an audible “snap” when my left foot is on and in place. No more stopping when my left foot keeps flying off. Just get it close and “snap”…good to go.
I use Magpeds on my FS and hardtail.
ive only had a few accidental disconnects over some nasty rocks but reconnecting is fast and easy.
