This Sat 8/25 meeting at 6:30am in DeWitt at Westbrook Park and ending in Port Byron at Dorrance. Take the challenge and do it ALL or JOIN in along the way as we'll keep you posted where the riders are in the route. Please RSVP to the FB event if you will be riding as we need to pick up food for the SAG

What is the plan if trails are closed?

[MissMandy]

Keeping an eye on the weather. Looks like rain totals have dropped to less than 1/2" so hopefully the rain gods will be even kinder! Working on a rain date and will post up when/if the time comes

[Dim]

We're watching the weather closely. Hopefully the weather man misses this prediction and it stays dry. But, if it does rain enough to close the trails, we're looking at a rain date in 2 weeks on September 8th. I know we can't accommodate everyone, but if there's any major hang-ups with September 8th, let us know.

Mother nature has spoken... With all the rain this morning and more coming, this weekends 'n Duro is postponed for 2 weeks. It will either be on Saturday the 8th or Sunday the 9th. If you have a strong opinion for either of these 2 days, let us know. We'll firm this up in a few days.

On the bright side, you've got some more time to train, so get some miles in.

Hoping for dryer and cooler weather in 2 weeks. See you then.

The majority wants a Sunday Duro, so we'll try this again on Sunday September 9th. See y'all then.

Too much rain again. We're postponing this Sunday's Duro, there's not enough time for the trails to dry up after all the rain in the past 7 days. 2nd rain date coming soon. 3rd time will be the charm!

The Duro is now rescheduled for the 16th. If attending, please marking "going" on the new FB event page.

Here's a link to the planned road/bike path portions of the route. This route is assuming that Concord and Credit Island are closed due to flooding, but Old 61 and the Jersey Ridge bridge are open. This can be exported in GPX for those with Garmins.

The MTB trails should mostly be marked out for directions.

The Jersey Ridge bridge across I-80 is closed.

The Jersey Ridge bridge across I-80 is closed.

For cars, but hoping a bike can get over it. It was passable a few weeks ago before they started working on it. I've heard it's almost complete, so hoping to use it this Sunday
