Who is in for this ride? There MAY be something new! The Rally Car Race will be going on, so we will not be crossing Fir Mt. Rd.

Bring the chips and salsa!

Anyone know what roads they use for the rally race tomorrow? Trying to steer clear of that.

Rick, might see you up there.

The Rally Car Race will be on Fir Mt and Huskey Rds. They will be on Middle Mt., also on Saturday.

I'd very much like to join up with you guys tomorrow, Rick! Any clue as to whether or not it'll be slippery and sloppy at all? Just wondering if the area had somehow either avoided some of this recent rain or taken it all in real well. Hope to hear from you before the morning and hoping to make it on out. Thanks!

[CascadeTrails]

Yes, we got some rain. Yesterday it only was a few light showers up there. There will be some mud and puddles. The open areas should be dry. See you at 10!

I should be up there with a few friends but we will ride our own group as we have some jetting and other stuff to do. will be stopping a lot to adjust on newly setup bikes.

Those cars aren't going very fast.

Great day out there today, and nice meeting you guys...

After flat #1, and before flat #2, Travis was getting down!

Looks like Travis was another victim of the over-abundance of traction out there yesterday.

I think my flat kit will be going back on the bike.

Thanks again Rick!

It was a lot more fun to watch in person. Fun ride despite all the flats. Glad i brought tubes and the electric pump.
