    Default Sylvan 8/22 @ 5:30

    Gonna hit Sylvan tomorrow. Planning on riding around several times and then start looking at possible routes for the Taming of the slough.
    I may have to grow old, but I'll never have to grow up.

    That's great Russ. The taming practices have started so the sooner the route is set the better. mp & I monitored last Thursdays practice and the island seemed in pretty good shape. I would say, pick the route and then clean up just those trails. Most of the rest will still be ridable with a few weedy areas.

    go to the island tomorrow. bet you can ride it.

    in fact, I'd be surprised if the other trails won't be open by tomorrow afternoon with how dry everything has been.

    I think Sylvan would be good now except for a couple spots. But in spirit of the 24hour thing I'll leave it closed for now.
