I'm off every other Friday and usually ride Black Diamond in the morning. I'm off this Friday (11/14) and am planning to ride around 9 am ish (rain cancels, of course). If anyone is interested in joining me, let me know (email is blaster186@comcast dot net, phone is 778-3000). If it's muddy (which it isn't right now), I would be up for a road ride.

Here's a ride report: Nobody contacted me, so I left the house at ~ 9:20 and rode over to Fredrickson gate - took about 15 mins. The sky was overcast, but a check of the weather radar beforehand showed some rain over in Sonoma Co., so I figured it was safe for a while. I rode the standard double loop ride, with a trip down Carbondale Tr. in the "forbidden zone." I saw a couple of hikers out, but no one else. That's what's nice about this park - no crowds, especially if you go early. I saw a busload of students at the Sommersville lot. After the second loop on Black Diamond, I headed back up Stewartville (Anyone know why they rerouted the trail? I liked it better before.) to the Ridge and it started to rain lightly. I then put it into hammer mode because I did not want to get caught out there in the rain and have the trail turn to mud. It basically sprinkled lightly and I got home before I got too wet. So, there it is. It was kind of a fast ride, just made a couple of short stops, and I finished in under 2.5 hrs.
