I don't have any idea if the trails will even be rideable. I assume that tomorrow will be too much of a mess, but maybe it won't be too bad by Tuesday. I could be talked into doing some TM instead, on either or both days, if riding isn't an option. If there's anything that can be done in the rain that is...

Considering how dry the trails where before the little bit of rain we received today I say things will roll just fine so as long as it's not pouring, Let's ride!!!

I'm probably going to hit up White Memorial on my way home today, unless anyone has any better ideas. Hopefully Nass will be okay for a ride tomorrow, maybe out of stone?

Have fun riding in the rain! I'll take a pass today but am definitely up for a ride tomorrow. Stone road sounds good.

I don't mind riding in light rain, if it's raining hard then I'll just go home. ;) The trails at WM don't tend to get too muddy at least...

As long as you stick to the gravelly fire roads/DT... I seem to be the only one who likes to ride by Cranberry Pond, but it's *always* wet there. Meant to get there again before this rain... it takes forever to dry out.

That's part of my big loop that I like to do there, but not when it's this wet...

Well I also posted that after walking there in the rain Sunday Morning. I was mainly kinda irritated at the dirtbike tracks in the mud on a trail that I specifically heard people talking about hiding from dirtbikers. But It could totally be cool for Tuesday.

Thanks, planning on hitting up Stone rd. tomorrow after work. Hopefully things are okay up there...

That sucks doo-doo, I know exactly where your talking about D! The Hessians have definitely been out in force this year and I'm not sure what can be done other than fortifying the trailheads off the roads to be impassable by both MTB'ers as well as the MX'ers. I surely wouldn't mind getting out of the saddle and lifting my 30lb bike over an impassible barricade if it lead to the preservation of the existing single track and Hessian free trails.

Post up how it goes. I'd like to hit it this week if possible.

Definitely. Stone seems to be the best bet after rain as it's higher up and doesn't collect water too much. I stay out of the lowest part of the dentist twisties though.

I assume we're still on Woodcore? I should be ready to roll by 5:45. Give me a call if the rain and cold has scared you away... ;)
