Why do people ride around puddles? Just widens the degradation. Unweight your front wheel and crack on, or do they just not like wet bikes???

Those foils are very expensive I gather , I used to have an airchair with a foil on , great fun and a sort of predecessor to the things that are here now apart from the airchaor needed a tow, some of the foils now use a wing while the early ones used a kitesurfing kite, they look great fun. The water looks so clean there too

“Easy” is relative. E bikes are an incredible way for more people to explore the outdoors and visit places they might not be able to otherwise. Surly “Analogue” elitists should be shouting their praise as it gets more people in to MTB.

And the main thing at the moment no huge algal blooms. The speed limit on the lake now is 10 knots which is just over 11mph, initially when they brought in the speed limit it was 10 mph but some legal type caused a bit of a stink as it was maritime and said it should be in knots not mph and it became 10 knots the extra mph being useless in the grand scheme of power boating, looks like you enjoyed one of the nicer days we've had ;-)

Is that the older 520, or one of the post-2020 versions? I've got an older 510 and the thing feels a little unstable in rough water compared to something like a V8 (I've only been in surfskiis since February). Some one is selling a used second generation 520 a few hours from me, but I'm interested in getting opinions on their stability before I commit to spending 10 or 12 hours on the road to get it.

Another nice ride , A few years ago close by where you fell but up on the sort of main route before you dropped down to the stream ride section there used to be some horrendously deep puddles pools where the 4 x 4 's have destroyed the double track, A friend of mine nearly vanished in one of those deep sections on a Yamaha 250 he sort of jumped in and stopped dead

I'm debating whether to take my mtb, or take my road bike and add in a couple of days hiking to get to the some less accessible spots. What dates were you there? Seemed not too busy.
