Me totally stuck!..and probably shouldn't be trying it with my fitness as it is!

It's a lot steeper than it looks!..haha

seems a shame get a nice bike dirty , lol

Interesting position. I assume you were going up the hill? Were you riding in the ruts, or between, them at the time?

Hi Jo, I'm not surprised after all the rain we've had....hope your back survived getting the bike upright!!, did you have your camcorder going..? Steve

Riding in between the ruts, too deep to ride in, Steve, I managed to pivot it round on the bash guard using gravity, it does get dirty as you can see , I just have a passion for cleaning!..

Might be stuck but looking good doing it!!

Well, that is a right old pickle you got yourself into!

Seems to me that you use the wrong tyres... knobbies rulez ;-)

Yep I agree,I'm just trying different tyres to suit my very varied terrain I ride on,it's 50/50 tyre on there more suited to dry hard pack than the slippery chalk mud you see there,but I think it's best to try different makes and types of tyres to find one your totally happy with..the slippery chalky mud on the South Downs is very hard on all tyres..
