    I'm in for Friday. 8ish? Make sure you get there plenty early enough to jack around and get a flat in the parking lot right when it's time to roll out.

    Alright, alright, alright. I like where this is going...

    Sounds like 8:00 we will meet in the parking area out on Telegraph (so we don't get locked in) and we'll head up shortly after everyone gets their stuff ready. Bring your lights, bikes and beverage of choice. Group ride pace.

    If you have never ridden trails in the dark, this would be a great time to be your first. Lots o' fun.

    Well let's keep our fingers crossed for little to no rain today. Chance for a little, but I don't think that will stop us from riding if it is light sprinkle during the day. The trial steward makes the call on that. Keep an eye on the forum and we'll let you know if it is a go- obviously will be if there is no rain.

    If it does rain enough to cancel trail riding plans- I'll still be interested in a ride downtown with some stops at watering holes along the way.

    rode the trails this morning with Stevebuff...it was sprinkling on and off the entire time but it wasn't near enough to break through the canopy. by the end of the ride, there were a few spots that were getting greasy but I don't think it's near enough to close the trails.

    see ya tonight!

    Count me in! I had a Cygolite Turbo 740 for the Mountainbike fest and loved it and I recently picked up a Cygolite Mitycross 400 for the helmet for $99.99 (not bad) so looking forward to giving it a go.

    Just had 2 storms roll through over here, the first was all hail but the second was rain. Hopefully it wasn't enough to grease the trails!

    FYI - Blue Mound backwards, at night, may or may not be slightly dangerous.
