What to do when it's too muddy to ride.  By Paul Johns

When the rain comes down and stops your riding day here is something that I like to do to pass the time.

Tools: 1 roll of Duct Tape (good quality), 1 mud hole (must be a good sticky consistency, not too watery), 1 friend willing to apply tape, pull tape off and take picture.

Step 1: Apply tape to a clean portion of skin in your desired pattern. Make sure that the tape sticks well. Press down firmly.




Step 2: Apply body area covered by tape into a mud hole and roll around a bit. Don't stay too long in the mud hole as the mud might eventually seep under the tape.




Step 3: Have a friend remove the tape and expose the design. It is a good idea to let the mud dry a bit before removing the tape so it doesn't drip and ruin the image. Then have your friend take a picture to capture the moment.
