What a crappy night.
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0decec77de.jpg
I just thought I would put it out there that the biking conditions in the PNW and Southwest of BC are as good as it gets right now. We have been getting lots of rain, but things are drying out. It is damp soil and as grippy as possible. It is truly like riding on padded velcro. And we are not having a heat wave like the SW. It looks to be about 70 degrees and sunny for the next week or so. If you are thinking of a road trip to ride, now is the time.
I would, but, no picture
A few from this week in the PNW

5th water loop. Not pictured is an out-n-back on Cottonwood Creek and 2nd water. Put in 37 miles. Rugged trails, long ripping descents, big views, will be back.
Nice, how dusty is it now?Quote:

What does it mean?

is he pointing with his thumb?
Think it's just a weak thumbs up. Both palms are bruised good from a crash yesterday. "What does it mean" was a rainbow reference albeit not a dblQuote:

WOW
I've done Center end to end. It's cool, similar feel as the other trails, some grunty up and downs without any other peopleQuote:
