1. Choose your routes. If you REALLLLLY want to geek it, use this tool to head to areas with sands and gravels rather than clays, silts and mudstones https://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html

    2. CX tyres fo sho. Full muds probably not required as they feel shit on tarmac but low pressure 33mm intermediates are good right now for general riding.

    3. Don't wash your bike unless it really needs it. Mud on the frame and rims isn't a problem to leave on.
