I am planning to do a ride Friday (4/21) afternoon up in Waterdog. I am going to ride from <a href="http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=415+Old+County+Road+Belmont,+CA+94002&t=h&ll=37.527664,-122.282124&spn=0.015588,0.054245&om=1">Passion Trail Bikes</a> up to Waterdog, then do a few loops in there. If you want to join me, meet at 1pm at Passion or 1:30 at the <a href="http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Cambridge+Road+and+Carlemont+Drive,+Belmont,+CA+94002&ll=37.508875,-122.29444&spn=0.015592,0.054245&t=h&om=1">Carlemont Cul du Sac (go south to the end of the road as shown in the map - haven't figured out how to get the pointer on the Cul du Sac yet)</a>. A couple of hours of riding and no fixed route in mind yet - guess trail conditions will determine that.

Weather report is somewhat iffy, with a prediction of showers. If there is any significant rain in the area prior to the start of the ride, I will cancel.

I will post a trail update, but will probably stick it in http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=183120 instead of in this thread.

They were doing a reroute of a connector trail this winter. Not sure how far they got with all the rains, but the extra, late-season soil moisture may allow them to get a few extra trail days in. The more people that get out there, the more progress - so why not help move the park towards being something you like better.

Here is the original postings about trail work there from Berry Stevens (as I said - there may be additional dates added to these):
