I got three fairly big rides in this weekend. All with great weather. Yeah, maybe you should stay home. (j/k I'm not superstitious and I think the "good pattern" has arrived for some great fall riding)
Perhaps you spoke too soon?
I was agreeing with this the other day when you posted this message, but now I'm not so sure.
Rained most of the night here in Slidey. Thick overcast out there this morning. Be careful about assuming that our wet summer is drying up. Still summer for another couple weeks, and looks like it could be a moist weekend.

Crest/Agate this weekend (9/9 - 9/10)? One or both? I'll be up there with the MBP.
Hey, I hear there was snow up there today. A bunch. Anyone see it first hand? MrsB and I are thinking maybe an epic Sage loop down here, like Aberdeen or the Signal Mesa Death March. If any of you wants to join us drop me a line. So I think I'm out unless someone had a first-hand report that its ok. The DH wouldn't be fun with snow.
Are you planning on riding both days? How big is the group?
Matt
A different trail each day. We are staying at some cabins in Poncha Springs, but you can meet us. I think the group will be about 10-12 with varying abilities. You'll have no problem keeping a pace that you like (there are a few atomic riders in the group). I'm almost always in the middle and there there are a few bringing up the rear.
Ahhahahaha, in the middle? You, in the middle? Hahaha. So am I a "atomic rider" Ride-Sprinkler?

I rode up to Marshall Pass from town yesterday. It rained on me several times and it was COLD. Definitely snow up really high, you could see the fresh.
I got cold enough yesterday during a 5 hour ride that I was cured for wanting to be in the really high country for a while. If this unsettled weather clears and we get some of the Indian Summer we DESERVE I'll get back up there. But I definitely shined on doing Crest-Agate today.
Looks like a repeat of yesterday is going on up there now at ~2 PM Sunday. Hope those guys brought lots of clothing. -- Tom Purvis - Salida, CO http://arkansasvalley.net/tpurvis/

Yeah, I hope they are prepared. As a patrol group I guess they better be!
We did the Aberdeen loop and a bunch of Hartman's singletrack on the way back. Good mileage, good times, and no snow. We got a ton of rain Friday and it's all nice and firm out there. Hopefully the Monarch area will dry out again - I haven't (successfully) hit any of that yet this summer.

I may be looking to loop Agate one day, so maybe I can meet you guys at the top or on the trail somewhere. I'll let you know as a plan emerges.
