Yeah this has been a funky year. Good for race prep though. I get way better workouts from riding rollers than I do from just normal riding.

Same here, we've been getting toatlly random weather. One day -20 and a load of snow, the very next day +10 and raining. It's getting annoying, damn global warming.

What about that one in Glennwood canyon on I70? I don't have pics, but it's still down.

That was *tiny* compared to the pics from SoCal. If that SoCal slide had come down on I-70 in Glenwood, *BOTH* the elevated roads would've been demolished and they would've been 6 months getting the Interstate opened again. :eek:

The one is the pic I posted initially isn't that bad, just a pile of rocks across a 2 lane. But the La Conchita slide is mammoth. La Conchita is just asking for it, a little community wedged inbetween an unstable hillside and the 101. In '95 there was another slide the destroyed a bunch of homes and caused some deaths and its like a repeat this year.

The freakin video on CNN was disturbing; an entire hillside turns into a flowing river of soil and vegitation, bad news.

My coworker showed me some videos of our trails this weekend. Normally dry river beds are 200' wide raging torrents.

So far Santa Barbara has recieved over 20" of rain this year (since Jan 1) our normal rain total for an entire year is 13-15"
