It sucks not having pictures to post. Who real gives a crap about what I have to say. Pictures are worth a thousand words or so the saying goes. Digital was charged up and the same with the recorder and the goal was pictures at a minimum and footage hopefully. Original plans was to go to the Meadville area to ride some trails for a change of pace. Cleveland guys got going early and was going to met us there. Unfortunately we got news it was pouring in Meadville and we turned around 10 minutes after leaving the shop.
Brad checked the weather and we started heading to our trails with the Cleveland guys about an hour behind hoping to dodge the rain. Got everything un-tarped, watered and did some dialing until the guys showed up. They showed up and had the normal meet and great and everyone started to get padded up and heading towards the roll-in. I could hear it coming. It started sprinkling, but P'Simer was going to get in at least one run and dropped in and flowed like normal. Brad made a run and mud was already slinging in the flat bottoms. It looked like it was going to pass pretty quick, so we left them untarped to help with the watering.
It stopped raining in about 5 minutes, so we chilled, bs'ed, did some more dialing, some drainage work and about 45 minutes later they looked good to go. Brad, Dave and P'Simer got a run or two in and it started down pouring. Their last runs were in the down pour and quite amusing. Instead of the normal knobbies buzzing sound that is heard through out the trails the squishing sound of mud seamed pretty funny. We called it a day.
Saturday was a chill day and Brad and Joe T worked on and rode the bowl area. Brad has been working on this area again along with the start of the new lines heading back to the beginning. Everything is making progress and is going to be super fun. The bowl was riding in nicely and I was told actually feel pretty good considering it was only roughly formed.
