With the weather clear and having been clear for a few days, I picked the MTB for the morning commute. The dirt was 90% good. I dodged a lot of puddles that I might have plowed through if I weren't trying to keep my pants clean! I'm not as confident on damp pack as I am on dry pack, though I know intellectually the wet is more forgiving. In at least one spot I slowed down on a berm and sideslipped down to the bottom, where I ordinarily would have railed it. I can feel that my WTB Wolverines aren't toothy enough for this. The news on the radio was of David Bowie's passing. This gave the music a city vibe, which is sort of an ill fit to riding through a musty mushroomy oak forest.
