    Dirtvert, Sherpa DRider, myself and a few others rode there Sunday afternoon. It was perfect. We did hit a little bit of snow (yep, I said snow!) on the Tres Amigos trails, but just a dusting that gave a cool crunchiness under your wheels as you rolled over it. The trails were all in great shape.

    Trails were in great condition but bring your warm riding gear! There was a slight breeze and IT WAS COLD ALL DAY!

    Rode Saturday morning, snow on the top, lots of frozen standing water. Trails are in good shape but a little soft! Have fun!!!

    Thanks for the info guys. but I didn't get to ride.. As i was getting ready to go, the wifey demands that i get the Xmas crap out of the garage attic. well I get the tree and it seems like never-ending boxes of decorations down, I get to the last one and CRACK there go's the plywood Im standing on, thru the ceiling i go luckily my legs broke my fall scraping on the trusses and I only fell halfway thru. needless to say i got pretty beat up and couldn't ride.

    Trails still rideable but you need to know which ones. Fireroads are actually the main weaklink...sticky and slow. Actual trails are well conditioned to rain and holding up strong.
    Streams are flowing fast so creek crossing areas are a risky venture.

    Wow! Doug and I thought only road rides were the option this weekend...and only a measly 21 mile one at that...

    Looks like you guys had a great ride in the rain!

    We were just riding around townish areas, nothing long...since I got two flats (hucking a 10 foot gap of course) and forgot I had a busted small chainring.
