...the ski bars back out for the bike racks. Unheard of this time of year!!
Of course I cant' complain but it's just bizarre. I have a feeling we'll be hurting for moisture come the end of July or so. All the major riding areas are open, up to 4000' elevation!!! come to think of it, I need to get out this afternoon... Penny |

I didn't get to put the sticks on this season either. I had paid for a season pass too! Oh well you roll the dice... Mike |

Yeah, I have my bike in the back of the truck right now and I am heading
out to hit the Boise foothills shortly. The trails look good all the way up to 5000' here as well. I have to give our groomers credit up at Bogus Basin for keeping the Nordic trails usable. I had a great ski there yesterday after work and got to enjoy the beautiful clear sky. Mike "small change" wrote in message ... ..the ski bars back out for the bike racks.

We have 1/2 of our yearly moisture already for the year, it has been warm, but very very wet. In fact I may have to bag the biking trip to Phoenix because it could be too wet -- Craig Brossman, Durango Colorado remove "mydebt" to reply |

We rode the local desert right after the rain on Saturday and not a speck of mud. Just nice moist dg. GT -- "I know what I know I do what I do You don't like my coat **** you" - Johnny Dowd |

I am planing on camping with my son this weekend at McDowell Mtn. If it rains at all during the week and is cloudy the rest, will trail riding be a bad idea? I would guess the trails in that area are mostly sand and therefor drain quite well, how wrong am I? -- Craig Brossman, Durango Colorado remove "mydebt" to reply |

In fact I may have to bag the biking trip to Phoenix because it could be too wet When are you coming to Phoenix? So far it's been wet but the trails are so rocky, esp. South Mtn, they stay rideable. The rain is less than persistant too. I rode SoMo National yesterday after all day rain Sat. and it was wet in a few spots but incredibly humid. I felt like I was back home in Virginia. But Desert Classic was primo by the afternoon. Mike - another couple weeks and I'll damn near be a local. |

I still say we have 365 days a year of riding here. And skiing 2 hrs away. Nearly 20" of new snow this past Saturday at Snow Bowl though the mountain was covered in clouds and you couldn't see and driving up was damn scary with the heavy rain and hydroplaning effect..........

I would guess the trails in that area are mostly sand and therefor drain quite well, how wrong am I? Mike pretty much summed it up. Most trails are rocky or sandy and drain well. McDowell tends to be muddier than most areas and a lot of the trail runs through washes. The trails on South Mountain are mostly rock with few areas of soil other than sand so rideable even when raining. The first day Mike and I rode on Trail 100 we split the rain storms and had little mud to contend with even though there was a lot of running and standing water as we rode. Weather forecast is most of the rain on Friday and tapering off on Saturday. Gary |

Are plans are to camp at McDowell Mtn and ride in that area, I don't want to get into anything too difficult with my son, he has to have fun! The rides around McDowell sound perfect for him. -- Craig Brossman, Durango Colorado remove "mydebt" to reply |
