It's my fault… I bought a new bike. Why don't you just do what everyone else does when it's too wet to ride and start fights on the Internet Tongue 
Here I will help you: spandex is bad, leaf blowing is good, trails should never be closed!

Southwest District Park, Uwharrie, Harrisburg Half, and presumably Poston ... ALL OPEN.

Go out and ride!

I'm gonna do either Uwharrie or SWDP.

If trail builders were any good, they'd make professional drainage and it would always be dry.   

Always lock up your brakes on downhills.

Turn your music up super loud so you cannot hear other riders.

Stop at the bottom of hills and take your backpack off - spreading it around the trail.
