This is my worst enemy. I call it "cake batter" mud. After Just a few meters it clogs everything up so much, your wheels wont turn even if you push. Your bike and feet gain Kilogramms every step you take. Getting rid of it is hard because of dead plant fibres wrapping around everything and keeping it all together.
But this time it wasnt just a short section covered in this. It was for several KMs. Encountered it about 35km into a 130km ride, carried on till 40 and then stayed in the road the first chance i got.
Took me an hour to clean. Pleasantly surprised everything kept working after removing the biggest chunks. (The worst isnt even in the Pictures)

Damn. You need to let that stuff freeze at this point in the season. We’ve all been there
Looks like you took part of the path home with you. To practice on it maybe? ;-)’
How did you find the thunduros in the mud? I love in Scotland and run kinda Flintridge pros year round which are fine enough in deep mud for me…
That’s a nice pair of tyres, do u mind telling which model is it?
