mud fest

Well my hopes of a hit out at the Bullfight Charge at lake Mtn were dashed today due to some shithouse weather. Its been to warm for snow and the heavy rains this week have depleted Lake Mtn's snow cover. So with no skiing on the horizon today I headed out to Lysterfeild for a belt around on the SS MTB. There had been a bit of rain overnight so we were expecting some mud but what we got was unbelievable. I was truely over it by the time we got back to the car and so were the brake pads on mine and Mister Sister Trent's machine.
The trail system has not recovered since the last Chase the Sun enduro. Lots have people have been over the trails in the wet since then resulting in some pretty large ruts, holes and puddles that could swallow a mack truck. Its a shame that Parks Victoria are not out doing some basic trail maintence with a shovel just to drain some of the ruts and soaks.
The next Chase the Sun is in 7 days and without some sunshine between now and then it is going to be a serous mud fest. It will be interesting!
ciao
