If you're riding 'cross, you're going to ride (or run) through mud. When you're riding mud, your priorities should be keeping your grip and conserving momentum. This might mean that you need to ride through ruts in deeper mud, jump off your bike and run to maintain momentum on climbs, or take wider lines through corners. In this video we go through the essential skills and bike setup tips that you will need to ride fast through mud.
