rut riding

Now that it's "post" rainy season, some of the plantations we ride through are heavily rutted - thanks to trucks/jeeps that the locals use for harvesting/transportation. While some ruts are rideable, others just threaten to swallow your bike (well, not the whole bike, but till the hubs - as the photo attests. Sometimes the best option is to ride between the ruts. Can't complain, it goes with the territory (literally).
