I love racing in the rain! But I doubt it'll last through Saturday. Weather.com is showing only a 10% chain of rain on Saturday. Temps look mild at 63. The 4X track should be tight and tacky
 , er', refering only to track conditions, uh, and not...you feel me.

No need for your happiness to wash down the drain! Tonight I had the most fun I've had in a while being wet miserable and cold
 Did a 28 mile ride tonight... the rain gear did it's job though. Rode from my house in a light rain, and it just kept getting heavier until we got to the top of La Tuna. Came back down the fire road and back on the road, but it had lightened up in the last five miles. Then I got in a hot shower wearing all my riding gear! Saturday is looking like it should clear out though... Enjoy!

 Of COURSE, it rained all night... trails here will be a mess right about now (plus they'll be "closed"). Damn. Do the rangers close Aliso/Wood after a rain? Any decent trails in south OC that aren't affected by "closed" signs? |

SJT is a river when it is raining. I think most of the soupy mud has drained/washed away, but there still is some.
Weather should be nice tomorrow, and all next week. |

You have my condolences.
Life's too short (and too dear) to live anyplace where it snows! |

I'm really happy you like where you live, but can you try adding something to the conversation other than "it is better here than there"? Clearly the vast majority (I'd say 99.8%) here on this site like So Cal. Quote:

Anyone know if it rained hard in the Santa Ana's? Trying to get a training ride in before CC. If it got blasted, I guess I'm riding SJT.
