Anyone have advice on going down rutted hills in the mud? other than hang on for the ride? LOL.
We got some rain day before yesterday and as some of you know, our soil here is red clay. I found myself on a side trail in our friends woods and was already heading down a muddy hill before I knew it and could turn around. I basically just got my rear over the back of the seat, stood up a little and prayed I didn't crash. Once I got to the bottom and some gravel and loose dirt, I had some traction and could brake and collect my nerves.
Anything else I could have done differently? Or that just the nature of riding in muddy conditions?
