If its a deluge I am skipping out. Getting tired of being busted up in the mud. However, I won't be there til Sunday.

Right now the area is under a flash flood warning, not good news for the riding bunch.

do we think it drains off pretty well, or is it going to be surf and turf up there? Much as I like riding in the mud, I am in no mood to change tires and all of that.

If the rain down here at the beach is any indication, its going to be one soggy SOB this weekend up there. I think this member of the VB crew is out for the weekend.

I just got an email from my brother in law, he and his wife want to go up this weekend. I was sort of hoping not to go because of labor day weekend traffic and weather but now I might end up there anyway due to family obligations. Weather for Charlottesville has it clearing up by Saturday but it looks like a deluge between now and then.

So anyway if any of you Richmonkies / Charlottevillans want to play it by ear and think they might show up Saturday or Sunday, let me know via this post or PM. Thanks.

All I know is that its raining hard here at the beach, and we're not even directly on the path of this thing. We're supposed to get ten inches out of this thing, which in and of its self is going to keep me here moving things from my garage up stairs.

One of these years i am goign to get smart and move the hell out of hurricane country.

Well the weather has changed for the better, it looks like it stopped raining around 6 this morning and has all day to dry up for tomorrow. Should be okay I hope.

I'll be riding at WG Sun too! More than likely be on a solo mission. I haven't been there all year; Is the lift fixed or what?

Today was a freakin blast. Hit my shoulder on a tree earlier in the day, and other than that just a couple of bails with no carnage. I met up with jake and we did a couple runs until his dampening rod decided to break. Trail conditions were pretty good, some of the wood stuff was pretty slick as well as the rock.
