One word should sum it up... SLICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry:
Hit Clayton early this afternoon with the intent of doing a lap on foot and then a lap or two on the bike. Starting off through the field and down into the singletrack, I found that whole stretch to be standing water, slippery mud and almost impassible stretches of trail. Not one to give up too soon, I decided that I would just forgo that portion of Clayton for my next lap on the bike, and start out right into the woods from the parking lot. However, I found the whole place on my run to be ground thawing, slick, and not worth the risk. There was puddling and greasy mud throughout.
My recommendation...
Ride Clayton:
1. If you have a hankering for eventful trips to the Emergency Room.
2. Enjoy the thought of the phrase "LONG RECOVERY".
3. Get pleasure out of catapulting from the seat of your trusty steed onto greasy, thick mud.
4. Yearn for spending hours scraping and brushing clumps of mud and dirt from the crevices and crannies of your bike.
Don't Ride Clayton:
1. If you don't like long visits to the Emergency Room.
2. Don't enjoy long recoveries.
3. Don't get pleasure using your entire body wiping up trail mud and slime.
4. Don't yearn spending hours on end cleaning the mud and crud from your bike.
Give it until the weekend, and conditions should be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your bike will thank you... so will your riding buddies when they don't have to wait for your a** in the ER! ;O
Happy Trails!
