I think north inland got a pretty good steady soaking. South county wasn't too wet and the roads were bone dry by 6am.


This weekend is supposed to be wet. I wonder if the trail gnomes will magically appear. :ninja:

Ride it. The hill holds rain great and shouldn't be a problem

Black Mtn. is excellent after the rain. There may be a few puddles on the lower fireroad, but easily avoidable. Once the climb begins (I'm talking the frontside fire road), it's rocky and no mud. I've ridden that thing when there was literally a waterfall flowing by the lower gate and the road was still good to go.

If anyone rides any trail in SD county within 1 yr of rain in any amount the trail Ninjas will flatten both tires and hack of your cranks …

Or you will be flamed into submission here on DT … :)

No problem. Black Mtn. never disappoints when it's wet....

I'm hitting it tomorrow morning at 7.
