Taurus Mountain Race

peanut butter mud /ˈpiː.nʌt ˌbʌt.ər mʌd/ noun

1. A thick, sticky mud that clings to everything it touches. It turns shoes into concrete blocks and bikes into immovable objects.
2. A known enemy of drivetrains. It clogs up chains and wheels and is nearly impossible to clean off.

Usage: “Had my first peanut butter mud experience this morning.” (Emma Bateup, Cap 10)

Recommended technique: Put your bike on your back and keep walking.

Note: It forms when rain soaks into fine dirt. You’d think it would get better once the rain stops, but as it dries, it only gets stickier.
