mud

what is it with the mendip hills we have had one night of rain and the trails are running with water. the muddy patches [ 80% of the trail] are bottomless and you never know whether your going to do a vicar of dibley in the next puddle. still havent sorted the christmas ride and there seems to be discent in the ranks, some are talking of going to a trail centre for the day, and i must admit that the thought of all-weather trails is appealing and i havent ridden the wall for sometime and theres a cafe, and a bikewash, and showers, and..... oh well! thats me convinced then. just need to get me bike sorted now, why is it that nothing is ever simple withbike mechanicals? i bought a new fork [marzocchi z1 rc2 eta] so i removed the old one cleaned up the headset, cut the steerer put the 20mm adapters in the hope hub, bolted it all together and hey presto! the brake rotor is 5mm away from the caliper! looks like i need another adapter. im just going online to see what i can find. bye for now.
