I figured I'd be the first to ask on this board since this was a mainstay for years on STR as soon as there was even the slightest chance of rain.

Hopefully this will be a mellow storm that will only dampen, not was away all the loose stuff on the trails.
 
Further north is AT in Acton. ALL decomposed granite, soaks up all the rain you can throw at it and gets better and better and better!
 
Everywhere will be good to ride.

It has been so dry out there....what little rain we did get last night will get soaked up in no time.

I imagine that by early this afternoon, everything will be good to go.

However, give them some time this morning.....don't rush out an f*ck up the trails.
 
Did short ride on STT/Luge today.
Dirt is neat perfect! No dust, tacky...just needed to look out for a couple ruts on the trail in inopportune locations.
And some hotty ladies too! I like seeing girl on Mtb's ;)

Got off line and the RM Altitude just ate up the rocks on the luge I ended up riding over. Made me think I'm taking it too cautious. Not...
 
Fully Loop was very nice today , only huge puddle was the usual down by the railroad tracks before you get over towards golf course

My Bad...
I think someone tightened the berms up on the Luge yesterday. they are in great shape. You'll love 'em!
 
Los Piños Ridge was the most fun I've ever ridden it yesterday. Looks like it was ridden Saturday as well.

Not even the same trail I rode three weeks ago. Struggling for control has given way to complete command of every section. The best trail for tech riding and position in the Santa Anas, made better by some rain. Go ride it, whatever you gotta do.

Best during rain, or after rain trail around! ;) it might even be the best dry trail too! ;) thanks to all the work put in by all the Dirt Bags that whipped it back into shape! ;)

^^This...

I went on my local ride with my gf the day after. By the time we got out there the dirt was pretty solid, with a few mud pools. The tacky dirt and cool weather made the ride feel completely different. It was nice to have the cool air and ride the tacky dirt compared to all the loose dirt and dust we've been riding most of the summer.
