Found a little unexpected mud (and also found out how heavy the pig is...)

Don't know if this is the right place, but the mods can move it if they see fit (I can't see this be a 'Ride report :  )


I went out exploring a little yesterday - nothing serious but just a little 30 minute wizz around the neighbourhood.

New development in progress, so I went up and down a couple of nice gravel dam walls and such and then on the way out I took this little single track.

Looked more like damp sand than mud and clay...

Then a couple of meters from the end of it I started to sink in - the surface was about .5 cm of 'dry sand' - under that was very pap clay. I felt it sink in and gassed it - just to lodge the front VERY firmley into the very wet mud/clay.

Kicked it over and hung on for dear life onto the handle bars and pannier frames.
Didn't move at first - then all of a sudden you hear this 'suction' sound and it started to move.

It was two fights - one to get it out and the other to get it clean...



Anyway - the point is - 'Daar's nie pille vir domgeit nie'    *



*Translation - there's no medicine for being stupid...
