Everyone seems to be complaining about the recent rain.

Not me. Been going out regularly in the wet recently.

Went out last night in a local woods. I came back covered head to toe in mud. What a laugh.

Looking forward to a wet summer!!!!

Funny you should say that - PDV6 and I went out last night and I having been so covered in mud for years - it was a proper laugh and great fun to ride - none of this thick mud!

The problem I had was my keyfob for the car got wet meaning that until I had dried it out on my mates car heater, I couldn't get into my car!

I do prefer it dry but last night was a right laugh!

Mullered a set of brake pads, though... (on with the sintered ones I think!)

Wet rides have been sooooo much better since I got a new bike with hydraulic discs.

I was using a set of pads in 4 hrs before.
