    I was planning on doing a sunrise ride at Marshall Canyon in the morning. Due to the on off rain i'm not sure if i should still go or not. What do you guys think? Is it to wet to ride? Or is it just bad for the trail to ride after the rain?

    Just toss on some "SwampThings", air 'em up to 60 psi and they will dig down to traction pretty good, then just go rip it up. ;)

    Guess it depends on how much rain ya got down there but from what I remember of Marshall, seems like it can get pretty muddy and not the "fun" mud either.

    We've had some pretty heavy downpours at times today in La Verne. I rode it on Friday morning after the rain Thursday evening and there were some spots already fairly soft. I imagine that it will be quite a bit softer tomorrow after the rain today and tonight.
