Re: [RC] West Region Quicksilver Classic ride on Oct 23 CANCELLED - Karen Sullivan
California Parks are pretty stringent about
shutting down rides if there is potential of rain or muddy trails. Many of
our parks are multi use....and also the many of the trails are on adobe soil and
craters from horse's can dry into concrete-like holes....personally, I try to
stay off single track trails in the winter and stick to riding on dirt or fire
roads. I don't know about endurance rides being held on private
land.
Some years ago a fairly large group of us in Lake
co, were ready, willing and able to go do Lake Sonoma 50 with our kids....I
think there was something like a 20 or 30% CHANCE of rain for that
weekend.....the Army Corp of Engineers shut down theride the week
before......naturally, just a gorgeous weekend, no rain!!!!
I am just shocked to hear of back-east rides with
riding in mud and rigs gettting stuck in fields...that kind of
weather

Classic ride on Oct 23 CANCELLED
Do you cancel rides just because it rains or was
there damage to the trails? In TX, they still ride it and make a trail
around the impassable areas. Mary
