Tuesday Night ride and 17 of us set out attempting to avoid the bad bits for our sanity.
This led us to head down "Gerald", bit of Downhill ski-ing (nice save Brownie) for some gravel track laps of Stanwick lakes.
Me and Troy heading the train and we see puddles, riding into them they cover the wheels....the track disappears and we are riding between the reeds. It gets deeper.....and deeper, its getting harder to pedal as the water hits Knee level on the downstoke, we look back and everyone is following, insane laughing ensues.
In the end we did over half a mile of river riding, not really knowing where the banks or edges of the trails were, it was bonkers and how no-one fell in totally I'll never know, the side currents at times were pretty killer, the bikes were covered in drifting debris we were picking up.
Guess a few wheel and crank bearings will be siezed this morning ;-)
