I am off tomorrow and hoping that there is at least 1 more day of descent weather. I have to bleed my Avids in the morning but after planning on riding. Any word on CR or six mile? Did anyone do a night ride at either of these parks tonight? Thx, J
i have heard from a friend that:
i took a look at the jorba site and 1/1 was the last update...
The reality is also that most of the Jorba guys, and the list of people I've compiled for trail conditions, just don't ride the trails when they're iffy like this. So there's not a lot of info about conditions.

i didn't get to KVSP today and opted instead for the gym. a dude stopped into the shop while i was there heading there so maybe he'll post something. maybe not.
Mahlon was in good shape today. A few soggy areas, but they were easily ridden (or walked) around. Best its been up there in quite awhile, IMO...well, unless you like snow and ice
My intent was a longer ride but I crashed my brains out—thus eliminating what motivation I had. Somewhat fast decent, hit a rock "wrong", front washed out a bit…which wouldn’t be a big deal, except it washed out into a larger rock. Over the bars I went…hard. Luckily, I landed to the side of the trail instead of in the rocks. My shoulder and hip are a little sore. I have chain ring gnarf marks on my left forearm (dunno' how that happened). The bike is fine. The back is fine so far. I'll give it 24 hours to make sure my back is happy...I'm not worried as it doesn't feel even slightly tweaked.
Kinda' funny that my last hard crash 13 years ago was an endo on a decent (that I believe caused my back injury) and my first after getting back in the saddle is an endo on a decent...yeah, funny.
Sorry to hear about your crash. If you boo boos aren't open, you could put Arnica Montana gel on them. You will heal quicker.
Hey all ...
This afternoon my BF and I went to Sourlands for the first time.
It was HORRIBLE! OK before you guys beat me up, we had rode in the front trail directly oppisite the posting board in the parking lot. The uphill was excellent. We rode past the first left had turn that you could make and continued straight up the mountain. It was ALL rocks, what I feel was unrideable (unless you want to ruin your bike) we had walked most of the trail up and over the mountain. Don't get me wrong here, I love technical riding more the better, but the upper half of Sourlands is for hikers ONLY. I do want to go back soon and make the left this time and ride the trails to the gas pipe line and go ride the other trails we had missed.
Have a nice day
Christina ...
