yeah the downpoors and the wind are making me question a Sat morning trip...
can't imagine getting pummled by pea sized raindrops while the wind blows me sideways...
not my idea of fun.
i hope its not as bad as they say.

or maybe they'll need to get a season pass for $199!

i ended up riding at about 1:00 on Sat afternoon...
i couldn't resist! our street was flooded up further and there was water pooring off the bike trail onto the street like a river so i wanted to go check it all out.
the ride normally takes me a little less than an hour (~6.5-7 miles up then bomb it back down home) but with all the wet and having to stop to climb over a fallen tree and the mud slowing me down on the way back it took me over an hour and a half!
but it was one of the best ridses i've done in a while.
all the way up it was like riding upstream in a creek, the entire trail was covered in water washing down like a stream.
i was fairly clean on the way up cus its a slow climb, but on the way down i was drenched from head to foot in mud!
it was so fun though!
my wife thought i was crazy but i was diggin it.
i am glad we didn't do Quarry Trail, it may have been flooded in too many spots and i think on Olmstead, the "creek" would have been to high to cross (read: river).
almost all those trails would have been treacherous. even the one by my house was interesting, and it's a pretty basic, open trail.
now that the waters have subsided, we'll have to go riding again soon!

Are you coming to the meet Saturday? - we can discuss it then.
