Rain and mountain-biking don't mix well

Two rainy nights in a row, enabled me to see how my favorite trails feel and perform, early the next morning. Overnight precipitations in summer have nothing to do with their winter counterpart when a providential nightly snowfall gets sandwiched between two bluebird days.

In summer the order of day is mud around the tires, laborious traction, vegetation that get you wet and dirt that flies all over your body as you cruise down the hill. I'm not talking about the time it takes to clean the body and the bike upon returning. Now, I remember why dry weather is so great if you love to ride your mountain bike!
