    It did yesterday. Lookslike it's going to again soon here too. I'm riding summit right now an it's great dirt. For some stupid reason forest service has upper fall line/ cables closed right at the start by the reservoir. So lame.

    Myself and a few buddies are heading up there tomorrow morning. We're all from out of state-temporarily living in SoCal. This will be our first time up there. What trails/routes would you recommend we absolutley must do?

    What he said. Kinda depends on the bike too. Some stuff is rideable but not really fun on less than a 6" bike.

    Heard great things about Choc Cake.. we were given some directions and a recommendation and looked for it on our last run but apparently messed it up and didn't find the turnoff we were looking for..

    That's not a permanent closure is it?? Is this maybe just for maintenance or do they even do maintenance? Not sure how that works when you're dealing with USFS..
