ubin mud fest... and then the cheese

Oh, how I've missed the mud and grit :)

Left the husband in bed this morning (still no 29-er) and met the warriors for an easy bike sesh in Ubin. Was a little late but managed to make it for brekkie at Changi Village before we boarded the ferry. Wayne was a no show thanks to his mad party last night (sorry I didn't make it dude, but it was late and I wanted to make the ride)! The weather was perfect and cool as it'd been drizzling in the morning and the sky was clustered with fluffy clouds. But this only meant the trails were like soggy mud marshmallows, and it wasn't long before Shadowfax turned a lovely shade of brown. Nearly endo-ed thanks to a mudhole, slipped off the route thanks to a root and ingested plenty of grit thanks to the cruddy conditions - Bleugh.

The ride was an easy distance of around 20-odd k's and I felt really good throughout. Kept up all the way and didn't feel like a straggler, which was nice.
