The Abyss's at Boyette take a beating after the rains as do Sidewinder and SWAMP Thing.  A couple of the drops in Pandemonium are made of clay too.  But if you skip those trails and are looking for mileage then you can still get in about 19/20 if you ride everything else.  Once we get the two ways done on Spider Berm and West Meadow we are going to try and make the quadrants more fun and interesting so people are more inclined to ride those in the bad weather while keeping the clay trails rainy day no go's.  Croom is always a favorite in the rainy season.

Thanks... I think I will go back to Santos. It really handled the rain well. I had to cut it short when it started to pour...but even then the blue trails were in decent shape. I may not have this kind of hall pass again for a while!...If I stick to blue and yellow with an occasional red I may get 30-35 in......
