    Maybe it'll be another storm of the century like last weekend. Completely rideable here at the coast (or Sycamore, Riverside).

    You could also go do this: http://southridgeusa.com/

    You can do DH training laps all afternoon Saturday for $10. No DH bike required. Riding and racing happens, rain or shine, wind or calm.

    Local news says this weekend's storm starts dumping precip on us Saturday night so your Saturday morning ride plans are "A GO!".

    I awoke this morning, cheered to note that I hadn't died in my sleep. I watched the sun rise as I drank my coffee and thought,
    "This is good weather for a ride."

    Whether the weather be fine,
    Or whether the weather be not,
    Whether the weather be cold,
    Or whether the weather be hot,
    We'll weather the weather
    Whatever the weather,
    Whether we like it or not!
    So go ride your bike and don't be a snot!

    Looks like rain will be here too early to squeeze a ride in on Saturday. Hopefully it moves out early and we can squeeze a road ride in Sunday.

    BTW, drive out East a little ways and do some early morning San Gabes. The forecast for my area says that it won't start raining until 9am. :cool:

    Not on ride day! :mad::p

    Im all for building force fields around our riding areas that will keep them dry at any given time. Just flip the switch when you arrive to keep it dry. Then flip it again when you leave.

    Rain just turns Sycamore into Superman's cave. Total super hero territory. Ground just soaks it up like a sponge the moment it stops and all is well, except the humidity.

    Well I guess the best thing about this "rain" is it's hardly reaching the ground. Conditions should be perfect tomorrow.

    Weather underground calls for less than 1/2 an inch here in Trabuco. So far it's the drizzle of the century.

    This is a weird storm. Radar shows solid coverage but it's still just a light/consistent rain or drizzle.

    Light drizzle all day, I LOVE IT! Started raining, although lightly about an hour ago in Redlands. Looks like it will keep up till midnight, then taper off.
    Hero dirt manana!

    We have a lot of DG trails and sandy washes that dry out pretty quick. I'll probably wait till the afternoon to make sure.
