Doug i'm soooo stoked about this you dont even know!
Question is with the eminent rain coming...how long do county parks stay closed? Do state parks remain open? I need to get my riding on this weekend and if i cant i will go into shock.

Rain = Time to hit the San Gabriels. Just stay out of the washs. Besides I need to go finish the Strawberry Ride I broke my 5-Spot frame on.

Be sure to send some down south. You guys always take all the rain and we get just a sprinkle for an hour down here.  |

The trails are so dry, a lot of the first rains are just going to be soaked up into the ground. The wait time to ride might be shorter the first couple of rains.
I was riding El Moro yesterday and thinking it'll take at least a couple of inches of rain just to pack down the deep powder in some areas. I don't think we'll get enough to do that, but I take all the rain we can get.

Just remember guys/gals not to hit the trails while it's raining or right after. Some trails you can ride the next day (most the San Gabes) but other places with a high clay content and it could be soggy for days. Check around before you hit a trail.

I don't know if I would refer to a 30% and 40% chance as "eminent rain".
Just because there's urban sprawl nearly as far as the eye can see, doesn't change the fact that we live in the DESERT.

Fritz has spoken
Here's the latest from Fritz Coleman:
"The L.A. Basin will see the action Friday afternoon and night into Saturday morning. This will be a cold, showery storm. Highly variable rainfall amounts. 1/2 inch to 1 inch in the coastal plain...to as much as 3 inches in the hills. Thunderstorms are alos a possiblity with all of the dangerous weather involved. Snow will be just a dusting...but, could fall as low as 6,000 feet....very odd for this time of year. Clearing will start by Saturday afternoon!" |
