4/3/2010 - North side of Weldon Rd.
Really wet, especially in lower areas. Watch out for those puddles - some look about an inch deep, due to leaves floating under the surface, but turn out to be as deep as a foot! Some people saw me trying to ride through one - I have to go see if I'm on Youtube now (search for "Dumbass biker tries to cross deep water"). Hopefully it will dry up by next Saturday.
I'm still not 100% familiar with all the trails, so ended up getting lost a couple of times. Some parts of the smaller trails are covered in debree, fallen tree branches, or generally washed out. Many trail markers have faded to almost being invisible.
Bring sunscreen and bugspray. It was a sunny day, but the leaves haven't come in yet - I got mild sunburn. Bugs seem to be coming out already as well.
P.S. The guy who was riding with a baby strapped to his chest - if you're reading this, you're my hero. Also saw you catch up to your wife - so obviously she was on board with this - my hat's off to her too.
