No, it's bad etiquette to ride wet trails since it tears them up and causes excessive erosion. Most parks will have signs posted but it's good to observe that even if they do not. If it rains a little bit, the trails in the sun will dry quickly. If we get dumped on they'll be saturated, though.

Can we do this today? The weather is perfect and it's been dry for a few days now.

I wish I was up for it. Beat and sore from riding yesterday plus I need to work late to make up for yesterday's quake dismissal.

right... seems to be 80% chance of thunderstorms at 6pm so I won't be going... maybe next week.

For Arlington is 100% @ 5:00pm. I am not going to be in DC next week, but I am looking forward to MTB'ing sometime in September.

Uhm, yea that should be good (as long as my family leaves in the morning), or Wed would be good too. I'm actually free all week now that I'm not studying

Gotta take it easy on me though
