Everyone bailed so I ended up riding solo! I put wheels down at around 5:40 and rode the the following:

East Chippens>4-Way>Downhill>Boy Scout Bridge>Jug>Hinman>Ye Ole 69'er>Cemetery>BSB>E. Chippens to the Car.

The loop came in at around 5.6 miles with almost a 1000 feet of climbing. Managed to make it 3/4 of the way through the loop before the rain started, but boy did it get dark fast and man did it pour!! Thankfully I had my lights with me and although i was completely soaked it was actually pretty cool riding through the pouring rain in complete darkness. A new experience for sure!!

I did spend some time at the north end of Ye Ole 69'er/Cornwall DH down by the river repairing the log up and over that had been removed in the last week or so. I rode my reincarnation a couple of times from both directions and it seems good to go but will let others be the judge of my work!

I was wondering if you guys were out there when that torrential down pour rolled through. Nice work, glad you had a good ride despite the rain. I should have known that Greg would wuss out. ;)

Thanks for replacing that log that was recently removed. :beer:

Uhm. No wussing involved. Family first, but in retrospect, glad I bailed. It was almost pitch black around here at 6:30. I would have been in big trouble in that lack of light on wet trails. Nass RAWs are done for me unfortunately. Hope to hit up the pickle park sometime this week, but scheduling is already looking tight. Pulling off a lot of riding has proven difficult lately...

Glad you went for it anyway, WC.

Just busting stones dude. Pick up one of those lights that Woodcore bought and your Nass RAWs don't have to be over...
