    We as usual had a good ride today at Thorndon, found a lot of quite dry trails but they could only be joined up by riding the sludge.

    Quite a few places the ground was frozen so that helped, plus not many people about.

    Nearly gained a dog as one took a liking to Rich, perhaps he found us more fun on our bikes. :lol:

    Thanks for the company Rich and Tim. 8)

    The ghost of Capability Brown was out building a few more lakes today at Thorndon.

    Even the wall of death is half filled with water says the optimist in me. :)

    It's now officially the wettest I have ever seen Thorndon in all the years I have ridden there, but there are still quite a few dry trails.

    Robert those dry trails you talk of are called roads.

    Thorndon proper muddy yesteday.
    Started off from ski/kart track straight down towards the usual downhill singletrack only to go straight into the newly formed lake .Thought that won't be that deep :shock: wheels stopped half way through, managed to jump out with just wet feet . Joe learned from my mistake and jumped across
