MISSISSAUGA MOUNTAIN BIKING   

Riding in Water

Never ride into something that you can't see the bottom of (from experience).

If there are not too many obstacles, you can ride through the water as usual

Instead of cranking in a high gear, try spinning in a low gear if the water is too deep.

If the water is real deep, try ratcheting your pedals by doing quarter pedal strokes.

Brakes will be much less effective when wet, so watch out.

Water can get into bearings and damage them. So don't ride things that are too deep (anything higher than your bottom bracket is considered deep by most people).

After riding through the water, pulse both brakes a few times to scrub off the water.
