Spent a couple of hours biking around on Monolith, taking pictures of statues. And trees. And pylons. Because reasons. Inadvertently found the deepest rutted trail of my life. Many of the trails around here are cut by 4 wheeled ATVs. It's a double edged sword, I get miles and miles of double track, but in the muddy and softer areas, the erosion is killer!
Forget about pedal strikes, this one is almost above the 26" tire!
Here, you can see that the bottom of the 4 wheeler dragged and scraped the center area smooth, and some brave soul rode a bike right down the middle! Not me, I walked around.
This is the deepest rut I've ever seen, the granddaddy of all ruts. I don't even know how it is possible, the whole bike is in there, up to the stem! Here's a shot of me standing above it for reference.
Bonus picture of some fresh raccoon tracks down there in the soft mud:

Smooth Tarmac is an urban myth. 
On public roads, definitely.Smooth Tarmac is an urban myth.
This was bliss, no cars, no junctions, no potholes, no crappy repairs to the tarmac. Even the sun came out later on, though being an ex-airfield does mean that you can’t escape the wind.
