Stuck in mud.

These guys were stuck in snow,
I wonder if it snows in Weldborough?

You have to have plans and when you've got plans, life becomes more interesting. If you don't have plans, it's like being stuck in mud. The other thing you need, at least for some of the time, is company and when you've got company, experiences can be shared. A really useful time to have company is when you're stuck in mud. The Ducati travelled the muddy track without much difficulty but a local, riding a heavy Triumph touring bike, got bogged after rain turned the track into a quagmire. Fortunately Ben was there to help out and, after some effort, they managed to extract the bike. By all reports it was a busy and very enjoyable day with plenty of walking as well as riding. All that exercise builds up an appetite and our traveller spent $28 on a big dinner at the fish and chip boat in St Helens. As for plans, there seem to be many hatching at the moment. Plans and company, that's what you need.
