    I usually park "up top" by the storage place but with multiple cars should we meet at the bank/grocery store lot on north side of the park. It's a quick pedal to the entrance and a good meet up spot.
    Let me know!

    Neil, I think that is a good call. It pored her in Laguna last night and Blackstar can take a couple days to dry out even in good conditions. Besides tonight's forecast is looking like more rain.

    Thanks Neil, it's the right call. BS is not the place to ride after rains as most who have experienced it know. I won't be able to join you at Sycamore cause I have to work tomorrow night. BS would've have been more of a quickie ride for me anyway and could head down early..., Sycamore is just way out of my way. Next week I have other ride plans. Have fun all.

    I changed the title and fixed the link to this thread on the calendar page(wasn't working)

    In the minority here, as always, but parking by the storage place is better, IMO. There is some fun stuff between there and LM. Don't care for the grind up the west side of Sycamore to get to the good stuff. Jenson side is ok if you're just playing in the rocks.

    The top to Central and back is always my choice. Rather ride ST on the way back up vs the west side.

    Awe Dangit, I was looking forward to this ride.
    Probably a good call to postpone B*

    Wife and I still plan to ride... looks like we are doing Maple Springs to Four Corners. :bang:
    Shouldn't be bad...MS drains pretty good.
    I know a couple others plan ride MS...see you on the trail.

    So meet at jensons parking lot around 9am?
    I'd still like to ride throughout the park but will have my 10 year old with so ultimately it'll be how far she wants to go lol!
    Of course if its a down pour at leaving time....I will have to bribe her to go!

    Maple's creeks might be flowing good so watch out. Don't get caught if there is a chance of heavy rain during your ride.

    I hope I can make it next weekend.
