Been dry, windy and sunny for the last couple of days the trails should be in prime shape. Will be doing a night ride this evening. Hopefully with Loco.

Rode last night and the trail was in pretty good condition. Mostly dry; few damp spots and the leaves are still there.

Rode Tuesday night. Trails were in great shape. The leaves are slowly disappearing. Slightly muddy on the river trail.


Raining now on Wednesday. Right now just a lite rain(.04").

Trekky was supposed to come ride Cameron with me today, but we decided to cancel do to the weather forecast. Well, never trust a weatherman, as sunday dawned bright and clear. Recovering from my bout with the mystery virus, I was waffling about riding as omninous clouds built in and the temps creeped through the 50's. Finally decided to head out around noon and as I pulled into the Park the Sun popped out. Unloaded the bike and I was off.

Bunch of folks were out riding today.

Trails range from dry, hardpack to wet and covered in leaves. Quite a few trees down on the trails. Hope they get them cleared up before the race or there will be some cyclocross spots.

We received nearly 2" of rain yesterday and this morning. Trails may be rideable Saturday afternoon after the half marathon.

Waco got a half inch of rain today to make a grand total of an inch in the last 48 hours.

If it sunny Fri and Sat they should be fine for Sunday. Saturday will probably still be slick. Friday will definitely be in the absolutely no fun catergory.

Got to ride with Chuck, Dirtface and Krys-10(?) today.

A lot of riders out today. Saw the Trek team van and the subura-gary fisher auto.

Trails are in great shape - fast and tacky. There are a few slippery rocks on the climbs.

Rained lightly Monday night and heavily Tuesday night. There is quite a bit of standing water on the river trail and rhino is pretty muddy. There is flowing water at the mix master. The upper trails are damp and tacky and in awesome shape. There is mud in a few spots where the water drains over the trail mostly in corners. The rocks are still slick, but a good tire will minimize slipping. Sitting while climbing kept slippage to a minimum.


Cave of the Minotaur is no more. The trail was blocked by brush this morning.

Trails were in great shape. A few slippery rocks on the climbs. Water puddles still on the river trail.

How are things looking for a Monday ride?

Cold front Sunday night. Chance of rain 50%. So you got a fifty/fifty chance of having a good ride.


Only rain we got this week was a little yesterday afternoon.

Cameron is in great shape. The trails are dry(but not loose), and the rocks are dry. Flowers blooming everywhere. Lite drizzle while riding, but it didn't even get the trails wet.

There really wasn't a bad except, I spun out on an uphill and have a little trail rash on my knee.

There must be a million worms in the park. They are everywhere. Had to stop every half mile to brush worms and webs off. I'm sure I ran into a couple hundred.

What color are the worms?

We have some black one and some greens and some fat brown ones. They like to hang out at head height in large groups right smack in the middle of the trail. For a while I thought I could hear them landing on the ground, but I think it was rain.

The freaking worms are still here, and they are really starting to bug me.

Trails are in great shape.

Mucho thanks to whomever trimmed up outback and took care of the downed trees. Even left a log in the trail to ride over.

wumpus, planning a ride probably the second week of April. Wanna hook up? I will more than likely have a new guy with me. He is all about riding. How do you think he will fair CP? I ask that because he's not in all that good of shape.

The worm invasion of 2004 is on the decline. Only a few late bloomers still hanging around.

Trails are going to be great this weekend. Slightly tacky to dry.

The worms are gone. The worms are gone, gone, gone. Yippee.

Trails are still damp from this weekends 3"+ of rain. Slime green rocks abound. Even water in the creeks at Mix Master and Rhino.

Trails are in great shape. Still water in the creeks. A few green rocks here and there. The recent rains have caused a spate of fallen trees so be careful flying around a corner as you might meet one.
