I'm working this weekend so will not be able to ride along Suggest you run "The Bank" near the bottom of the shelf road.
 
Hate to say it but I won't be there, the better half has decided that wedding planning is more important than wheeling'... I'll be at the Tuesday meeting though
 
Not going to make it either - have to pick up family at the airport in Denver. Considering the forcast, that could take some time.
 
Seven one nine - 289 - 87 one four is my number if anything changes tomorrow.

I think the mystery of this weather makes this trail run a little more interesting, I have no idea what to expect. <---- my attempt at a sales pitch for anyone still on the fence.
 
I talked to CO_Hunter earlier, he's not going to make it.

Looks like it might be a small group. Should we stay or should we go?

Let's get the weatherman @PWCO70crusier opinion.

Well...Cripple Creek area will likely see 4-7 tonight and another 5-9 tomorrow. Lower elevations down toward Canon City will likely see 3-5". Overall it looks pretty snowy. I don't know how that will make trails though...
 
6am Update:
I recommend we postpone the trail ride to another date, possibly next Saturday, the 23rd.

IMO, it makes no sense to run this / these trails during a storm. The panoramic views are 99% obscured, and road/highway conditions are only going to get worse as the day progresses.
 
Good call Tracey.
 
In Canon City had rain/snow mix all morning. Been snowing hard since noon.
