The ebike's beginning to feel the strain....

With a summer spent almost continually splashing through water and muck it's no surprise that there's a bit of wear and tear beginning to show on some of the suspension bearings, so the bike's going to 

 have to go in for some work on the worn bits as soon as I can get a bike carrier fit to transport it to the bike hospital.

A bit of fun on Wednesday with first of all Dougie riding through a fairly deep water crossing

.

Then Roger at night doing it, unfortunately neither fell off for what would have been a great photo!

Even got Barrie through it on Thursday, but by this time the level had dropped a bit and the weather had improved as well.

Out this morning and it was back to "pretty grim" windy and heavy rain showers, the front wheel stopped dead in a muddy hole and I came off and fell in it resulting in wiping myself "clean-ish" with some long grass, the only thing I could find available....ah the joys of mountain biking in Scotland!
