Tips for mtn biking in the rain?

[Irulan]

You might check with your local club/trail organization about the local thinking on riding wet trails. It does depend a lot on soil condition, type and drainage. I'm with shefly, in that around here we don't ride wet trails, and we give them 24+ hours to dry out after a down pour.

She mentioned the puddle thing: if you must ride a wet trail, go THROUGH puddles not around them. This keeps the singletrack single.
