Does Waldo dry out pretty quick from the downpours last night and this morning? I might be in, where is the lot?

Also will we be sessioning the Friendly parking lot?

not sure about the drainage. i'm willing to give it a try. if its too wet we can always bomb the fire road and ride the fishermans trail. if its bad i might walk the trail and clear the downed branches.

Me and powhunter are going up out of Southington, your not too much further. Way I see it is I either ride here or cruise the local roads since Nass is probably a swamp today.

Agreed, I don't do much road biking and Nass is literally the only place I have biked.

So, I am looking forward to visiting a new spot..

the main trail alone will take us 1.5 hrs at a moderate pace. we can mess around on the fire road and fishermans trails and tack on anothe 30 min if you want.
