    Here in the northern portion of OC we've gotten several good downpours. They don't last long though.

    Sprinklers still off.

    Sitting in the dark here in Sylmar. Lightning strike took out something about an hour ago. My son and I were in the kitchen talking when we saw the light then felt the thunder almost instantaneously.
    The house lights flickered a couple of times but then went out.
    Oh well, goodnight Maryellen...

    Got SLAMMED with rain all night!
    We saw and heard you Southerners thunder storm last night.

    You guys almost lost Mikie in a traffic accident this morning.
    Raining and wet streets, this guy made a right turn this morning from a cross street into my lane about 25 yards ahead of me as I was doing 55mph with traffic. I had to swerve into the fast lane with a car nearly next to me. Thank the Lord above the guy next to me had lightning fast reaction to slow so I can take his lane as I squeezed between Jackwad and the alert driver at like 50. I followed him to his parking space at another NGC site and told him, "I just wanted you to see the face of the guy you could have killed!" Happened about an hour ago, I'm still shaken.

    Still heavy rains in Palmdale at this moment. I canceled my flight to El Segundo today... :oops:

    This whole "storm" has been a bust down here in Oceanside so far. Nothing but drizzle to light rain, think Portland or Seattle type stuff, last night and today. We're supposed to get more tonight but if it stays like it has been so far, riding at Greer tomorrow is a real option. The rain in the forecast for Friday, Saturday and now Monday is gone from my iPhone weather app forecast for now as well. :)

    Sharing the PM is sent. - This is a post from one of the FB group's members that is working with the Riv. county. Rabbit Hole is closed and by the sounds of it will remain closed. We can still ride as stated. Don't panic.. Local group are planning to join the meetings to have some voice in the changes that are coming. Enjoy it.. (I spoke with the head Ranger of RivCo Parks yesterday. Nice guy. They’re not just concerned about mtn bikers. He couldn’t stress that enough. We don’t need to cease riding. They are concerned with illegal/unsanctioned trail building so that needs to stop. They are also going to clamp down on the motos and offroad vehicles as well as shooters. They got a grant to purchase the area. Not sure exactly which portion or how much of it, but they will be managing it. So we and the hikers and equestrians are the only ones NOT being kicked out. Rabbit Hole is in a sensitive habit area managed by the RCA so we will have to close down that trail. Most of the area is county land so the city has no say on it. They may annex some of it soon. Who knows. It will be a mixed use area but they haven’t seen all the jumps and trailwork yet so that may change. We are trying to get a seat at the table to help steer the discussions of this area. We are the primary users and we have a powerful voice that needs to be heard in a respectful and collaborative fashion. We can help Parks and RivCo do their job and also recreate back their is the message we want to give them.)

    Ok thanks, that makes more sense with it being County land. I was under the impression that ALL of the trails were technically unsanctioned anyway. I'm sure there's no way they'll sign off and look past some of those man-made jumps due to liability. Maybe I'm wrong.

    I know the lower stuff down at street level is owned by a developer because I Googled some city documents and saw homes are slated to be built there. There is also a Keller Rd off-ramp coming off the 215 slated to be built in 2021. I *assume* there will be more business type development after that off ramp goes in.

    I took JB's responses to mean that the county is currently okay with you/me/us riding the SIGNED trails out there....Enduro 215, Monks, Double D, Overdrive, Distortion, Insidious, Revolution and Jumping Mouse come to mind
