MUDNTAIN BIKING IN SAN DIEGO

Hello, spring is not here yet, and it never rains in Southern California... NOT

We have been getting a lot of rain and me, my sons and my nephew are getting hooked into MUDTAIN Biking. Yes, MUD trail riding. It is a lot of fun and a lot more physically draining than our regular cross country rinding we do. The mud is thick, sticky and it accumulated in the bottom bracket area as well as the tires.






I challenged my nephew to a little race, he is 23 and is always looking for a chance to "smoke me" as he likes to say, I learned that you can not get a lot of traction on mud covered with a foot of water. Need less to say we had to walk IN water a few times.








There was a very funny incident where JR ( my oldest son, 13) stopped in the middle of a mud puddle and decided to step in some standing water, there was a 1 foot hole where a truck had been stuck and he slowly rolled and fell into the mud, wish I would have had the camera ready.

My wife is not too happy about cleaning muddy clothes, but I clean and re-lube the bikes and the boys clean shoes.

This is proof that it does rain in southern California.
