Weather is never an excuse to not ride.

Some of my favorite trail rides have been in the mud. You just have to ride differently than you would if it were dry conditions. Mud for me means climbing days instead of descending since descending in the mud is wild.

I do call it when the rain is coming down in sheets though. I don’t like to be pushed backwards like the guys in this video.
