x2 Scorp!
I just find the older I get, the less patience I have for riding in crap - even if I DO find some good - so I guess I'm "picky". Definitely much less tolerance for mud, rocks, water, and snirt.
We've all seen the extremes and (some of us) would just rather ride when the conditions are more likely to provide 'Quebec heaven'.
Glad for you that you found enough good to make it worthwhile.
