That's normally true.
I watched the news this morning and his tune has not changed except it's getting worse. Calling for rain the rest of the week picking up on Friday morning into and thru the weekend. Nothing more miserable than being wet all all day long and were looking at two days in a row. From personal experience I can tell you Coalmont will be all but impossible to ride with the high water. It's been raining here for almost 10 days on and off and we got 3-4 inches of rain in that time period with another 1.5-2 inches coming the rest of the week. I know Tiger is committed to coming to Mary's Ridge and that's fine, we can ride here in between downpours and warm up in the garage, but we may want to look at moving this weekend ride to a more pleasant one. Glocks coming from Missouri, Craig from S. Georgia, (bless his heart) and others from SC, etc. Again, those that were going to stay here this coming weekend are welcome to continue but it will be hit and miss I'm afraid. What say you boys?
Yes sir alot of water crossings at coalmont and the wet weather creek that runs beside my house has been up all week. Maybe a poor weekend for it

Calling for "heavy" rain on Friday morning thru the day. Steady rain Saturday. Not looking very good.

Alright.... Glock, Craig, Delton and I have bailed on this weekend. We will post an alternative date soon. I haven't heard from @Windrock1000, @Tigermark on what they want to do.

Another vote for postponement. We have at least a dozen creek crossings at Coalmont and every one will be raging current. If you've never had a current pick up the front of your 1 ton sxs like an empty soda can, it's a scary ordeal. Don and I both can testify.

Tuesday, 1030 in the morning and it's dreary with fog. Better than snow but I still don't like it.
