what trails in the lower mainland are the best for riding when its all rainy like this?
most of the trails around have so much wood on em that you cant get a good flow, without sliding off of em. but are there any that are still a ton of fun?

thanks,

I find any trail with lots of rock and on the steep side tends to be good in the rain. I avoid anything loamy for obvious reasons.

Ned's is great wet or dry and you aren't gonna wreck the trail even if you are shredding in a downpour.

Dilemma on Vedder Mountain is always great whether wet or dry and a lot of the woodwork has wire making it "all-weather".

I would have to say Neds. And it is a good trail to ride in the rain, so you stay off the other non rocky ones, as mentioned above.

Neds. When it's really wet, you can throw off a pretty good rooster tail. Also, you can feel good knowing that you're not shredding another more erosion susceptible trail.
