Have to be cleaned up for an Appointment at noon, so this will be an earlier ride. Wheels dirty at 8am at SkyHaven.

I'm planning to give it a go in the morning. Based on the bits of rain we had earlier this year, I think most of the trails will hardly show that it rained, while a few others could be bad. We'll avoid clay below carwash and some of the soggy spots, bur overall I think it will be some good dirt tomorrow.


Starting at 8am, if you forget to change your clocks that's the same as 9am.

Rode today, dirt was AMAZING!!! When we started a few spots were still damp, but not really muddy, by the time we finished it was hard to tell it had rained in some places, well except for the lack of dust and wonderful traction!!!!!!!!

We did come across a few people that were not so lucky or smart who had ventured off to the area below car wash over near the school. They were very busy scraping the clay off tires, shoes, frames, etc.

We went all the way back to Wild West and even down green shed, the dirt was so grippy everywhere. The bottom of green shed was more rideable than ever. While I didn't clear the water, I did restart and make the climb out with no issues, even with my very limited lugged Thunder Burt on the back.

So moral of the story, if you want to ride and make climbs that you never clear or rail some berms super fast, this afternoon will be great, just avoid the area below car wash between the barriers and you'll have an amazing ride!!!!!!!
