It was embarissin' is what it woz, embarissin!
Frosty trails started out well enough but the horrible clay like substance started as soon as we got out of the shade.
Chainsuck ripped my mech out of its threads (am greatfull for replaceable mech hangers) so with out some sort of tensioner no drive was possible - Mind you I actually enjoyed the jogging. Except cycling shoes are not really suitable for the knees.
My mate at the car sales allowed us to dirty up his yard with a pressure washer and out of the mud appeared 5 mostly unscathed MTBs.
2.5 hours, 5 miles, mars bar bribery and a swift off-on jog home and it was over.
The irony was that I was going to use the semi CX bike - it would have been perfect...
