Default boggy weather problems!

Hi, i went out for a ride today at a place called cliffe woods, it has been raining for a few days so it was really muddy and boggy. the problem was, once the mud got between the treds of the tire, there wasnt no grip at all and it was like riding on ice, and i kept gettin stuck. is there anything i can do to prevent this from happening? cheers people,
dave

well well....lol being living in england is kinda hard to have dry weather for sure... what you might want to look into is having a bigger tires with deeper lug and that will give you more traction in the mud. Like those ulitily quad tires.
