It's spring in Ottawa, and the snowshoe trails have turned to mud. I went out for an excursion last week, and ended up with a very muddy bike.

Last week I was exploring a trail on the outskirts of Ottawa, Ontario. The trail became increasingly muddy, until I found myself wading through a foot of water in a swamp. I decided it was time to pull
