I have to plan ahead tonight and pack the car if I want to ride tomorrow evening (drivign from NWburbs). Any thoughts as to the likelyhood of a good portion of Palos being rideable tomorrow?

I expect we will be able to ride singletrack at Palos tomorrow afternoon, assuming no more rain. Not all the trails will be dry, but we should be able to put together a decent and fun ride. We will make the call tomorrow once Steve reports trail conditions.
Pack your bike

Is tonight's ride at Palos Multi Track, and if so where are we meeting?
Or instead at Waterfall Glen at Cass Ave lot?
Side note: Waterfall Glen trails were in stellar shape last night again, as they were Sunday evning and earlier this week. DuPage County has been keeping up dailiy with covering ruts with new gravel application every time it rains. The back side by the tracks is underwater, but the rocky ride around along side the tracks is already well travelled and rideable.
_______________________________
If someone calls out the location and time for a Palos ride, I'll be there at 5:45ish.
Otherwise, I'll be at the Cass Avenue Lot of Waterfall Glen at 5:45 to 5:50, for a ride at 6:00. At Waterfall Glen, we can ride til 8:59 pm, with sunset at 759pm. I'll start with a clockwise loop, heading East toward Cass toward the ranger statoin first.
Bull frogs songs between 91st and Bluff, between mile marker 8 and 7, are wonderful!

Well I guess it will be a road bike night for me. Thanks for the updates, it saves me 40 min of Tri-State traffic.

It's raining at Palos, no group rides single track will need to stay closed.  Fun still can be had at Waterfall Glenn and the Centennial.

I hereby call out a Waterfall Glen Ride 6:00 tonight, if people still want to drive distance to ride crushed limestone with other humans.
I'll be riding "medium/medium slow" which is 50 minute 9.5 mile loops at Waterfall Glen. Kevin Coyote Philips may be joining me. I know that there are other faster folks riding too, who do loops in 35 minutes or less, so they will pass us along the way, or you fast folks can join them.
I'll arrive WFG Cass Avenue Lot, somewhat near the bathrooms, at 5:45 to 5:50. Ride at 6:00.
The trail is about a 9.5 mile loop, and we ride through the lot at end of each loop to see who is arriving to join. So folks who start before us can meet us at the lot after they loop, or folks who arrive after us can meet us at the lot
