Oh man, that mud wreaked my head. If someone asked me to give up on MTBing when I came through transition at 10:30pm Sat night I would have gladly discarded my 50kg mud laden Specialized Epic for a badminton racket.
That combination of mud, constant rain & drizzle with those rocky & off-camber section made much of my nights laps virtually un-ride able. Even going pig slow filled the tyres & jammed up the wheels & drivetrain. Any opportunity for some speed to shed the mud had me into the bushes in the most unflattering of angles.
Although Sunday morning, really was like night & day. We headed out for our 2nd team lap & it was a gas. I reckon there was even dust in the “S for Snozza” section. Although unfortunately for me, virtually all my laps except the 2nd team lap was ridden in inclement weather (and mood).
