Has anyone been to SWK this morning after the rain passed through yesterday evening? If so, are the trails dry enough to ride today? I drove there at around 3:30pm yesterday and the rain was coming down hard so I didn't try to ride but I'd like to get out there after work today.

I was out there this morning. Kind of slick, fair number of puddles. Still rideable, though. That was 6 a.m., so by now you're probably golden.

I was out with my dog. Just got home and that trails are good. Also met Pete, another Cambr member but not much of a poster.

I was just out there after work today and the trails are drying out pretty good from the rain yesterday. There are still some small puddles and muddy spots in the shade, but they should be gone by later tomorrow.

BTW, it was great meeting and talking to you today Moto Rider. I'm a relative newbie out at SWK and I appreciate any tips and techniques that I get, so those tips you gave me about the sandy area should really help. Thanks!

It was good to meet you too and your welcome for the tip however, I’m far from the expert.
