I got your rain right here

Saturday's patrol at Wet (I mean West) Mag was a tad bit rainy. Nicole and I took the 10am bus from Boulder to Ned along with the BMA crowd that was riding over Rollins Pass to Winter Park, which seemed like a late start for them given than rain was forecast for the afternoon. Hope they made it. But sure enough, within a half-hour of hitting the trails Nicole and I got a nice steady rain which transformed the buffed-out singletrack into trickling streams. A brief dose of sunshine was quickly followed by more steady rain, and rather than belabor the point by putting more tracks through the middle of muddy puddles, we got outta there round 2:30pm. But GREAT to get the moisture! Saw less than 10 mtb'ers, 4 motos, and 4+ serious bubbas on ATVs, sloooow day. Saw the FS law enforcement and County sheriff at the Peak2Peak trailhead, sounded like they were looking for someone sketchy near the 927 trail (Root Canal) but we hadn't seen anything that they deemed useful info.
