Posted: August 20, 2007
5:00pm
Sorry for the late cancellation, but it has been raining enough in the past few hours that the trails will be a little too wet to ride safely and we'd like to avoid any trail damage if possible. If you do show up, ride safely, watch the wet bridges and tread lightly. See you at the 8x12, and be ready for next week's Dump Race.
