Rain gauge near the plant says .4 of rain will stay open unless we get dumped on later today. The new reroutes for the greenway will be very soft. Trail has been so dry we need this rain.

I'm .5 miles from BYT, you probably wouldn't hurt the trail to ride it, but it would likely not be real enjoyable while slick.  More rain moving in soon, will see how heavy it is.   

Side note, the city did some sewer work behind one of the houses bordering PRP this week, tore up a section of trail which i have repaired as best as possible.  Just keep your head up on the lowest section of the green side.

I live very close to BYT also and it has not rained since this morning. This is a nearby rain gauge:

Just shy of .4 inches. Like Scott said... the trail actually needed it.

BYT was the shiz today..Prime to get it on and let it rip,,if you did not get to ride it today you missed a good day to just go out and Slay it...Tires PSI set right , roots and rocks a snaddy bit damp,, but the trail holds a line better than most in the wet..Must be that Poop dirt cause it sure holds that shiz together well and keeps the rubber begging for more,....It is Spring time and the weather is prime..RAMFB...100 degrees on the way,,,get it in now..
