  • URGENT RE FALL RIDE STARTING TOMORROW THUR 9.22.16….Things are looking drier already. Some water on a trail earlier is now gone… BUT do not DO NOT arrive before 1 on Thur, later if you can- we have to do some more work on the road. My cell phone is on the Trail Info which is on this site should you need to talk to me. Sun by 10a which means the parking fields should be in great shape by 2p. Better for the road after 2p. Thanks!!
