Muddy bike pics thread?
Is there already one?
just shots of beautiful temporary patina?
Here’s mine today.
it was 70°F/21.1°C here today in February when it’s usually -20 to 20°F. The trails were packed, so I didn’t do any pics there. There were some dry leaf patches on some of the climbs, but some of it was soft enough that even 60mm tire riders were leaving ruts.

After Sunday’s ride. 40° and sunny. “Gravel” was a mix of mud, soup, gritty snow and ice. 30 miles and 3500ft of gain and had a blast

I’m a wuss - avoid mud when I’m riding gravel bike ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
on one ride last year took a detour off the dirt / gravel road into high grass and weeds to avoid the mud and puddles … found a hidden hole and almost went down
