A long time ago I would ride mission trails after a rain. How will it be tomorrow? |

North of the 52 handles water well, but you might want to give it another day -- it has been raining steadily, and almost constantly, here since last night. |

On some of the "trails" (roads) they spread this incredibly fine gray dirt that turns to slime upon contact with water. I recall the top of E-Ticket and the bottom of S-Curves had this in unavoidable quantity. Also, the utility road just south of 52 leading to Spring Canyon may have some nasty soil content. I had my tires load up pretty bad a couple days after a rain on that road, but that was years ago. |

It is supposed to rain through tomorrow. Probably best to give it till Wednesday. |

.... or thursday. That mud is thick and doesn't dry very quick. |

80% chance of rain today, and it looks like 80%, 50 % chance tonight, and 30% chance tomorrow. I'd give at least until Thursday. So far, we have almost an inch to 1.5" of rain from this system. That's a lot of mud. so, unless you wanna point to some deep tire ruts in dried mud this June and proclaim, "I did that!", I suggest some pavement riding for a bit. |

Don't worry I have my own trails to enjoy.

Actually, the face (west side fire road) of Black Mtn. in PQ is rideable after a rain. Virtually all rock/gravel with a few puddles on the lower part that are easily avoided. |

I've ridden that during the rain a few times. When I get the jones to ride and it's pouring out, that's the one location that I know that cannot get messed up by tire tracks. |

I rode Missing Trails about 4 days after a rain and that main "trail" going under the freeway was a soupy mess. Not worth it for me any time soon |
