    Rained pretty consistently in the San Gabriel Valley all day yesterday (Thursday). Can't estimate the total amount... but seemed pretty substantial. Hard rain showers on and off until at least 10 last night. This morning the sun was peeking through with some blue sky in Covina, but as I drove up towards the Puente Hills had to use the wipers, and there's some pretty low cloud cover/fog over the hills between Powder Canyon and Turnbull Canyon.

    Did they close off trails last year? If so I must’ve just blended in and rode along with everyone. I remember stopping and talking with rox and didn’t know it was her until after and I was climbing with racers and I think you cheered me on (AH elementary area?). Anyways, we have crap to do tomorrow so I’ll be away for Oaks until Sunday. Have fun!

    Park trails are still closed due to wet/muddy trails.

    Really? I am certain everything in OC will be open tomorrow at some point. Sucks to have another Non Dot cancelled unnecessarily (Aliso was great on non-race day).

    Parts of the Oaks don't do well when they get wet.

    It sucks, but I'm sure there were people riding in there today creating ruts.

    Well the rain is all but gone from the forecast here in Simi Valley. Highs in the mid-70s this weekend. Perfect conditions for a couple of good rides!

    National Weather Service shows 70% chance of rain at Santiago Peak, mainly after 11 am on Saturday....and a high of 59. I know Main Divide does pretty well in the rain, but I certainly don't like riding in it when it's actively raining.

    Yes, quoting myself...to add they're also forecasting 20 mph wind, with gusts to 30 mph. :eek:

    I'm calling BS. It's not going to rain. It may sprinkle here and there but the "atmospheric river" is staying well to the North of Los Angeles.

    Forecast morning low at Beeks is 53F. High for Santiago Peak on Saturday is a balmy 62F. Other than the 10-15 mph winds it's just about perfect climbing weather. :thumbsup:
