I'm going to be out there with a buddy. He's going through some personal life Sh!t that he wants to talk to me about so he wants to ride "solo'ish". Either way I'll be out there at 4:30 to roll. I'll be on a 29r hard tail with a grey jersey. I drive a dark grey GMC. Buddy rides a white santa cruz 5010. If you see us please say hello. We're headed up to cadillac and back down.

I said I'd be there. Neither the EPA nor CARB will stop me... Just not in the usual car.

Luge Soup. That's my description. Before the flag it's saucy and after wards a little soupy.
If you have skid control and don't mind a little mud fling you'll have fun. Some spots will need some TLC after the concrete sets.
Bottom was more dry and fun - the ride back on Live Oak I pelted myself with my own dirt. The Princess is just not used to getting dirty (and I've destroyed a bike in the mud before ... ) so I was very slow and cautious.
Did see @faust and Jason parked next to us in the lot when we got back.
 
It was wet sure. Soup.....fits the bowl pretty good.

To the Luge, there wasn't any mud...just puddles.

Past the Luge....mud and water. Once past Cadillac it was fine.

The Luge was a slip'n'slide at the top.....actually most of the way to the first banked turn. Below that it was fine.

Ended up being @mike @Faust29 and I. Warm temps. No arm warmers or jacket the whole ride. Past the Luge we were on our own.

Finished off with seeing a meteor go shooting across the sky in the Cook's parking lot.

Saw @Ebruner and his buddy a few times.

Good to ride with Mike again.

Great night to be out.
