Grim? You've clearly never ridden in Ireland mate. That's what I'd call lovely weather.

It's true though, I'm so used to muddy wet corners that I crashed from over-steering three times in one day in the dry

I'm just looking out of my dreary office window in London dreading the polluted cycle home. Its great to see some action from back in my proper home - Cumbria! I can't wait to get back and shred some proper trails!!! This video is going to make my week drag.
