He'll be fine - Nick, when you see this, roll it, do not stop, or this happens. (wait for last rider).

Someone stopped on a different section didn't they (last January 2018). Wasn't easy waddling along with a big MTB stuck between your legs as you couldn't get off !

Here is another at the B Line - it looks nothing like that now, all the trees have gone (the forest changes every time you go). Did this in December - as said, just roll it, do not use your brakes and keep going. Comedy crash.

Blimey, it's hard work this MTB lark...why don't you pump up your tyres properly?

Well, I didn't fall off. The nearest I came was when Skol convinced me to ride up some steps in Ashton town centre and my enthusiasm outweighed my skill. And I got muddier than I got the whole winter of road riding combined. Mrs N ain't going to be impressed by the state of my gear

I just get hosed down in the back yard when I'm that filthy.

He wasn't even dirty! Just a light splattering.....

Same here - and baggy shorts off at the door. We do have a hose at the caravan. PS I've seen folk get themselves jet washed at Llandegla - and that's a relatively dry trail.

Soft tyres = my teeth don't rattle out.

Thought 'the loon' might interest you in steps - he has an un-healthy obsession.

Rinse your kit off before putting it in the washer - or Mrs N will really not be impressed with the grinding washing machine bearings (not that I've ever done that).
