I was up in cannock chase last week and got f***ing soaked in a huge thunderstorm the trails where slippy as hell and i was on small block 8s so drifting round the bends in rain like a pro :wink: which was so dence it was like cycling through a lake and the huge thunder claps just made it even more exciting

came off though :? and kinked/ knackered the cable on my front m4 :twisted: so also have an excuse to buy a goodrdge hose, yay!


what a day made me relise why I love mtbs so much :D:D:D

    +1 Gotta love riding in stormy conditions. Of course, you've no choice with our climate. I'm not sure about going out in a thunderstorm though, something about riding around on a wheeled lightning conductor gives me the shivers :shock:

    Riding in lightning is so fantastic, especially when your in the woods. Scary stuff.

    There's a nice trail near me that runs beside a river for a few miles. Every so often when it's rained heavily, or the rivers overflowed, it turns into this super sloppy clay, it's so slimy that you can't even ride in a straight line but it's so much fun. You can't go faster than 5 mph as it's flat & there's no traction so your constantly steering into slides just to stay upright in a straight line.
    I love riding in those type of conditions as it's so demanding, stop concentrating for a second & your off the bike :lol:
