I'm looking to take the new singlespeed out for a quick loop tomorrow morning/afternoon. Any ideas?

Between work, DH races, and the weather I haven't pedaled a bike up a hill since the first week in January, so it needs to be relatively mellow. I'm guessing El Morro will still be closed tomorrow?

dstepper · 02-03-2008, 06:08 PM

After a rain, El Moro stays closed longer than either Laguna Wilderness or Aliso. El Moro did not open until Friday last week, three days after the other two parks opened.

I don't think anything will be dry enough in OC for a few more days. You could hit the lower trails in the San Gabes. The climbs aren't that tough and the dh is the best.

If it is dry now, Fontucky? Not close for you, though.

i say tuesday near the coast would be optimistic...we had rain from ~4Am through the morning to 10-11AM it was good steady rain too...ontop of already soaked trails.

Marshall Willanholly · 02-03-2008, 08:02 PM

I guess I was just being overly optimistic. It barely rained at my place and I hoped it was the same elsewhere.

I'm really anxious to ride the new SS, and my work schedule has been incredibly hectic so far this year. Today was my one free day to ride for the next few weeks, so getting rained out was a bummer.

We had over 1/2 inch here in Laguna since last night.

I am thinkin if anywhere is good to go it would be San Juan... Up to cocktail and back... I may join you if I get home from LA early enough... I need to ride

Here in the foothills below Mt Doom (aka: Saddleback, aka: Santiago), we had some pretty solid rain last night and till noon-ish. Then we got another bit of showers this evening.

I rode El Moro/LCWP yesterday with Pho'd Up, LoisMusrDie, and another friend, and it was still squishy in many areas with a few outright mud puddles. With last night's rain, I'd expect those parks to be closed for a few more days.

Time for some road rides.
