Tom! I'm confused.
Are you talking this Friday the 16th? Saturday the 17th? Or did you really mean July 16th of 2017?
I need answers young man!

 

[Rumpled]

Wow, planning ahead!

 

[Tom the Bomb]

Fixed. Do not know how that got there. Oh well. All good now.

TFPU! Sounds awesome, Tom, but I'm committed to site-checking snow accumulations in CNF : )

So Evan where would you recommend after the rains and snow? Noble looks to be out of the question. Maybe Anderson TT? need a couple days worth.

 

[evdog]

Unfortunately Anderson is pretty much shut down right now. World Cup crosses Tribal land and the Tribe fenced it off earlier this year. You can still ride up ATT proper from the bottom to 4 corners and then back down or do one of a couple trails off the side, but its nothing like what it was. This is still a good ride for right after a rain. And you no longer have to worry about shuttle monkeys on the climb up.

Noble itself should be fine by Sunday, but I'd give the meadows another day or two to dry out.

Its not singletrack but Pinyon Mountain to Split Mountain in Anza Borrego is a cool ride and conditions should be perfect this weekend. You can get a good map off the state park website.

Otherwise we usually head to San Juan or Palm Canyon. I'm sure you've heard of those?

Hi guys are you still planning to be out tomorrow? I'm looking for a longish ride if theres still somewhere rideable after the rain.

@TomF, sounds like Tom the Bomb aborted this one.

mtbikej was talking about Maple Springs to Silverado Motorway tomorrow in the "Weather" thread.

 

[TomF]

Thanks Mike!

 

[Tom the Bomb]

Well Laguna and Noble were under snow yesterday. So Did Anderson . 4 loops at the top. Not what I expected but not bad. Looking at cams for laguna today or 20 miles of Mission trails this morning.
Evan I rode the 2 trails off the rt side a couple time. I noticed a couple trails off the left side at 4 corners where do they come down?
Thanks again

 

[evdog]

I think they just loop around just below the fire road. Unless its something new, but I haven't heard of anything new up there.
