The Milford rain question

We can run Milford in the rain so don't be holding back on me. I know the rain or shine decision can bite us just for me bringing it up but we should be fine. The property has such a rock base that the dirt areas never get deep nasty ruts. The dirt areas do get slick but they are still rideable. I will set things up so that we should be able to ride in a downpour. The track might end up closer to 5 miles than 6 but it will be ready to ride in the rain or after a rain.

At the majority of our events we simply have to postpone if there is any moisture because our parking is in a field. At Milford this is all gravel parking off of a gravel road so that eliminates that problem. The other reason we wisely postpone is most locations will rut up and ruin a place but that is not the case at Milford.

The rain percentages are not that bad and there is no way to know what we will actually get until it falls. I will posts updates from there when I can.

Plan on riding.

Woo Hoo!

And, this is my favorite race because I get to take your money at the gate on the road into the park. So, bring your cash, bring you bikes, kids, dogs and let's race.

Oh, and if someone wants to bring me a coffee; it won't be wasted.
:D
