Looks good right now for the ride on Thursday out at FATS - plan to start riding at 6:30 we'll decide on the trail or trails when we see who's riding!

Excellent and everyone can certainly ride at their own pace - we loaded my bike on the truck this morning and I have a flat so we will be riding sweep for sure for this ride - no one will be left behind!

See you at six thirty, I am bringing a friend who is going to ride fats for the first time! I think this should be good! How is he faring today after those bumps? For a noob that looked like he could get a fitting for that bike, he did super!

Thursday's ride is on at FATS - plan to start at 6:30PM - high Thursday predicated to be 93 so should be 90 around ride time. Bring lots of water - we'll determine trail once we get the group together. And frankly on a ride like this perfectly fine to shoot off to different trails as the group continues to grow.

Tonight's ride was great - temps low to mid 80s - picked up Brown Wave and Skinny - trail emptied out by then and just an excellent ride. We've had anywhere from 3 to 8 riders each Thursday night - always fun to hang around the parking lot afterward talking bike!

There will be a Thursday night ride at FATS starting at 6:30PM lead by BeckyL but ONLY if we think the trail conditions are good. Keep a watch on this forum for an update before heading out since there was rain today and more expected tomorrow!

Rained a lot today - trails will need to dry out for at least 24 hours and probably a little longer since we've had rain two days in a row. We'll hold off on this Thursday's ride and give things a chance to dry out!

Looks like about 40% chance of rain tomorrow - if that doesn't hit FATS we should be good to go for the Thursday ride - 6:30pm - South (main) trailhead! Just keep an eye out here.

Looks like it has been raining out at FATS since about 6am and the potential for more as we work our way through the day. We won't hold the Thursday ride tonight.
As the weather gets hotter a light rain in the morning won't preclude a ride in the evening but we aren't quite there yet!

Thursday night ride is on but be sure and check the forum before heading out (the weather is pretty volatile right now). We'll plan on hitting the trail by 6:30pm and will decide on which trail(s) depending on who joins us!

Will be about 85 at ride time, if you seldom ride in the evening the woods are really great after 6:30 at night - temps are dropping, wildlife is coming out, a lot of riders are already off the trail for the evening. Not getting as many novice riders out as we had hoped - would love to have the full realm - hammerheads down to riders just starting out at these Thursday rides! We'll have some sport drink for after the ride today. Come join us

Unless we get reports otherwise, we will be at the trailhead at 6:30pm for the Thursday night ride!

If the shower predicted around noon today materializes and is short should not affect the Thursday ride, I'll post later but for now the ride is on for Thursday at 6:30 - main trail head!

We will be riding tonight at FATS starting at 6:30PM - it will be as much to check out the trail conditions after the earlier rain this week as to get a ride in. Just fair warning if the trail is too wet to ride we will turn back - not expecting that to be the case but am interested to see how the early rain followed by overcast skies and low temperatures affect the drying process this time of year!
