He can someone let us know if wissa will be dry enough to ride sat and sun.

cheers

i'd think so!

i ran wedneday night and while forbidden was a mess the trails up by my place were nice and dry. don't get me wrong it won't be "summer" dry, but definitely dry enough to ride with a good conscience.

Totally ridable. It is awesome! Some mud holes but all in all not that bad. BUT it will be very crowded this weekend. I am heading out to Brandywine and maybe Belmont to avoid the rush. But it is good so have at it...

lower belmont is not in good condition according to a friend that maintains it.  he says to be careful there this weekend.  it retained water.

wiss is fine.  but- the banks along the hiking trails...they eroded signifigantly.  especially towards the dam/house on the indian side.  check out the banks.  theres one section right after you enter the hiking trail near the house that looks like a 8 ft section just sheared off like california dropping into the pacific.

I rode yesterday, started on the east side of the creek at Bells Mill Rd, it was pretty muddy there and along the trail close to the river. The major problem I saw for next weeks rally was an uprooted tree on the trail we're gonna be using. Its left a huge hole covering pretty much the entire width of the trail. Someone has already been out with a chainsaw and cut through a couple of big trees that were across the trail. Other than that it was a great ride, except for having to end early after being too ambitious on the new IMBA section and landing on my head....ouch :'(!!!

I tried to post a pic of the uprooted tree but without success!! Lou - I'll email it to you.

Thanks for the tip Gary. Maybe we try to fix it tomorrow. Where is it?
