Mud is gorgeous too

From BV Forums comes a photo essay of smc’s off-road commute:

Inspired by jur’s photo journey to work, thought I’d give it a go, if you’re bored have a look… you might want a pop-up blocker, it’s a free website so they throw ad’s at you (sorry). First few pics are a bit ordinary (dark and foggy), but they get better

Some people will go to quite extraordinary lengths to stay off the sealed stuff and get mud jammed into their pedals! What a great ride – but (call me chicken if you like) I don’t think I could see myself going that way on a really wet day…

When I mentioned jur’s commute back in March, I said “Without a doubt commuting by bike in Melbourne can be just gorgeous.” Well, I reckon gorgeous can mean “wet, muddy and slippery” – depending on your point of view!
