I absolutely love riding in the wet. Must be the Scottish blood in me… my wife thinks I’m crazy for riding in the rain (she’s Italian, they’re allergic to wet weather and never stop complaining about it.) we do live in Tuscany so I don’t get to ride much in the rain until winter and really look forward to it.
I love when it's slippery, it forces you to focus, find a line and stick with it. The only negative thing is that the bike i totally full with mud after a ride
Ben reading The Daily Stoic makes a lot sense. After all, a Stoic might say that you can’t control the world around you, only your reaction to it. Ride in the wet!
I have no need to cork my frustration and rage at the misuse of the word "drivel" because I have none left to expend. I had to deal with two cranky teenagers this morning that just...wouldn't...fucking...go...to...school! ARGH!!!!
You left out the wet root surprise. I suppose that's not likely to be filmed, unless somewhere there were a mtb instructor prone to exercising poor judgment and willing to sacrifice his body for a good educational opportunity. Of course, that hypothetical fellow probably injured himself and can't ride anymore.
Hands down! This is by far the best series on pb! Ben, keep going! ^^

You UK guys are madmen. At least your trails and handle moisture. Here in Colorado it's either bone dry or unrideable, trail destroying sludge.
I love a good evidence based video that explains the science / mechanics. More of this!

Having aback wheel/tyre that slips more easily then the front seems to help! As I’m generally going a bit slower, I knock some more air out

“Wanna know my secret?… I always dribble…”

The worst thing in riding in wet is the cost of waterproof clothing
Is that an xt casette with transmision?
I don't slow down riding in the wet. I don't even start it.
How to not suck on wet roots / rocks
