Subject says it all. 
I'm trying to get a weekly intermediate to fast ride going in addition to the other weekly rides.
There will be several SS riders, but everyone is welcome! Just make sure to bring the lights, it is starting to get dark early now, so we'd most likely continue riding after dark.
See you there!

I think I'm going to bail on account of the weather. Looks like rain. Will be out of town next week but will plan on riding Monday and Tuesday the week after(10/22, 10/23).

Wha?!?!?!
Man, it's just a little drizzle that's stopping, considerin ghow dry the trails have been, it's going to make them just perfect today!
I would never condone riding in the mud, but this is nothing. After 3 weeks of no rain, the ground will soack it up like it never rained. But of course it's your call.

PS it stopped raining already.

Which loop are you talking about doing in under 1:30? 
There are plenty of riders who are moving faster than us, there are some that are slower. I haven't timed our rides, and we usually play it by ear with different routes, but lets say from VG head north on Forbidden then up to Summit, then back sourth all the way around and back up on west side to VG in 1:30-2 hours

Subject to the condition of the trails. If they are too soft we'll bail to the forbidden. But I hope that between it being just a drizzle over tha last two days and raining stopping few hours ago, we'll be ok.
But we'll be responsible if it looks too soft.

I'm in NYC for work and won't get back on time for the ride.
Plus we had some heavy rain overnight, and the trails weren't exactly bone dry to begin with, so they'll be muddy and soft.
In the spirit of being responsible trail users, tonight's ride is cancelled. And I urge everyone to stay off the trails today, and let them dry out for at least 24 hours.

Unfortunately, I have to work late tonight, so I won't get to VG till 7 at the earliest.
If there are any regulars who would like to carry on at 5:30, please, do so! But I will also head out for a ride at 7:30 if anyone wants to do a later night ride.... Psstt, Pete?

I'll keep it in mind. depends how much work I get done. It was awesome last night, though one week out felt like six months! It sucks being a hostage to the weather.

Great ride John! Thank you for coming out.
Where were you, Nick? I didn't see your Fit in the parking lot when we got there. Need to check out the orange beast!

Yup, good ride. When I got home and took a closer look, I noticed that my upper pulley wheel was missing 2-3 teeth - about a third of the wheel was broken off. Must have happened when I got hung up in that big stick...was wondering about the slight clicking noise the whole night. Oh well, I happy it lasted the rest of the ride.

Glad to hear it wasn't a major mechanical.
See you for a ride in the next year!

Waiting to hear from anyone who's been out on the trails today to see what the conditions are like.
With all the rain, I'm not holding my breath, most likely I'll scrub the ride, cos of soft, muddy trails, but who knows...
Check in later in the afternoon for more updates.
Thanks

That's good. Gives us some hope. But it will be above freezing during the day, so I'm wondering how'd it look by 6 PM?...

I woke up extra early in hopes of doing a morning ride while the ground was still frozen. As of around 5AM the top 1/4" was frozen at my house, but wasn't hard enough to ride. My yard still felt kind of squishy. When the temps get 5 or so degrees above freezing during the day, it sometimes requires some pretty cold overnight temps to really harden the ground.
This sucks!!! I want to ride.
