Single pivots are the REASON I am on a DW-LINK!

Single pivots rule..........with the help of some sort of Stable Platform shock that is.

Thanks.

Only they don't help you with the free STR stickers.

Well, it's been raining in Rancho Bernardo for a while now--and the clouds over Esco don't look too great.

It's going to be a sloppy ride (or just a really early BBQ)

[Marshall Willanholly]

With regards to Escondido, Wunderground is saying:

Isolated showers will occur over western San Diego County this afternoon. Most of the showers will be short-lived...so precipitation amounts will be a few hundredths of an inch or less.

Mmmm....Linda just put some chicken in her special marinade for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the ride and BBQ.

We're a bit north, but it hasn't rained in Murrieta at all today. Has actually been sunny on an off (from what I can tell inside).

[GP_pilot]

5 mi south of RB in Poway we've had a couple of brief showers (1-3 min) come through all day, but it should be fine for tomorrow

[Red Hot Sloth]

Well, I rode today...yeah it was a safe area..deep dg, awesome drainage, no ruts or cakeyness or mud or clay, not even loamy...just about pure dg, no mt bike tracks other than my tread marks, but there were 3 moto's out riding. Anywho, I got caught up in a pretty good downpour for about 15 minutes, soil condition was still excellent, made things a wee bit chilly though.
As far as tomorrows ride..I can't wait. Where is everyone meeting? In the Main lot?

Here is the construction Allison is talking about... just turn left here...

[Devoid169]

Meeting Gene for the carpool/convoy at the lot off Junipero Serra and I-5 at 6:30/6:45 tomorrow am. If anybody needs a ride all the way down & back I'll be driving from Huntington Beach at 6am (Golden West and Edinger). PM me. Donny - - Update - carpooling with Rob out of Dana Point, meeting at lot as well.

For all those who wish to after/during the ride, I've been thinking about the "Red Cup" scenario. What I mean is, it would be funny to see 50+ mtbr's all drinking out of red cups. HMMM... I wonder why they're all holding red cups? I say... forgo the cups and drink your beverage of choice from a water bottle instead. It will be much less conspicuous.
