Not Your Average Mud (Sycamore CYN)

• Place: Sycamore CYN
• Trailhead: Campground out to and up Backbone, down Guadalasca
• Riders with OMMB: Hector
• Miles:12.5
• Trail Conditions:Rain the night before, slick mud (if you can call it that) most of the way up Backbone.  The "mud" was more like modeling clay, and stuck like shit to tires, derailleurs, shoes, pedals, etc.  Bitch of a time to clean it up!  No traction, shift failures, clip in problems...now I know why riders freak out when it rains out here.
• Technical Level:  very difficult to balance while climbing, due to the rear wheel constantly sliding in grooves of slickness
• GPS Track:
