Perfect riding weather today. It was cold, down to around freezing last night, but the crisp air and warm sunshine made for pleasant riding. A few remnant puddles and mud holes presented themselves early in the day. I promptly fell into one of them and covered myself in mud. It was nothing compared to what Queen Bee and \u2018All Downhill\u2019 had dealt with. We were able to get ahold of each other early this afternoon. They somehow managed to ride a century through the impassable mud. Their bikes were so caked in mud that the wheels wouldn\u2019t turn when they pushed the bikes, which were also too heavy to lift. When the mud began to dry on their bikes, they had to chip it off with their tent stakes. Despite the mud, rain, and some big mechanical breakdowns, they pushed through and made it into Silver City today. They\u2019re kind of making me feel like a wimp. I recommend you read the harrowing tale on their blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
