Forecast has gotten a little better. Rain forecast is now 60%. Should be a good day with little dust hopefully!

Bruce, you're joking about the dust...right?

Also--is there talk of any "threshold" amount of rain that triggers DCNR/DVTR to close the Options?

Dcnr Rangers will make the rain call. Right now forecast is for light rain maybe Sunday morning. Maybe just enough to kill the dust.

Michaux is good fun. Riding it three times in three days is more better fun.

Glad you guys had a good time. I saw mostly positive reports on Facebook, too. (Only complaint I saw was that with no riders meeting forcing everyone to leave around the same time, there was a two hour spread in departures that resulted in a few places where traffic was head-on without proper signage (which was fixed once they realized what was going on).)

Great videos, Bill. Thanks for sharing!

Bill,

These are great videos. From these, it looks like it was a "no rocks" ride. That does not match my memory.

It really was a great ride. The weather was perfect for August. No dust. Probably the best I have ever ridden for the conditions, no dust and no mud. Course was arrowed well, roll chart mileage was accurate. It was good day all around.
