Ardoom.

to the tune of "lets get it on"

sing it boys.

Prepare for slick snotty mud.

I rode there today in light rain. The top is SNOTTY and the lower section is smooth and dialed but will likely get slick when the hordes of riders tear up the course.

Rain, rain, rain

still doing my rain dance for this weekend! and it's lookin good

are spikes appropriate if it's mucky? or is it too rocky?

I've got some I want to try out…

Roots and snot. If spikes are good for that then mount them up and giver a go. I'm mounting up a new 3C DHF for the race. The bottom section is super fast even in the wet. I am really looking forward to this race.

I just stepped on a spider. Rain=FUN

well I can't do any worse than the last time I rode it…

I can. lol

Muddy and fun fun fun!!! Neither the mud nor the grin is wiping off my face…

I'm hoping my run doesn't cost me a new frame this year! Doh! I have also vowed not to stop and talk to race marshalls in my race run this year ;)

what tires are people running?

are spikes appropriate if it's mucky? or is it too rocky?

I think you'd struggle on spikes. Maybe if you had some really cut down Wet Screams they'd work well. 3C High Rollers were working well for me in the rain yesterday.

By the way Cory… it's ARDUUM

so are we still throwing in $5 for beer?

ARDUUM!!!

Tim Coleman looking very fawst!

I've ridden and taken photos at that course since near the beginning, but I've never seen the amount of pure carnage as I did today. Know your limits people, you can't race with broken bones.
