The 2010 Dirt Spanker at Mont Du Lac was a real mess-a muddy mess. We got there for the start of the last race and it was already over. I guess with the wet weather they must have shortened the races. A couple of guys said they quit after a lap because the couldn't shift or brake. They pretty much just stalled out due to drive train jamb. The line at the water hoses for clean-up was epic. I'm just glad I didn't race. I didn't see too many smiling faces afterward.

ok, I just washed my bike cause I thought it was dirty... This is crazy :) yea, not much shifting going on when everything's encased in mud and grass
Yes, it looked pretty grim with all the nice bike encased in mud. What a mess! I just got an e-mail from the guy in the bottom picture (Jeff Austin) who said in so many words that you really couldn't call it race.
that's proper mud. Looks like typical British winter conditions. Sinking up to your hubs is not uncommon here.
The OCD of me is going crazy looking at those pictures, they are truly classic! :)
Must clean my bike tomorrow now.
