I love it when we get rain in the summertime. Lately, Big Bear has been getting hit pretty well with afternoon showers on and off for the last week or so. Every time it rains my phone rings off the hook from friends who want to go out for a ride. The reason is simple, for those that live here in Big Bear know it’s just like a “powder” day in the winter.
Dark moist dirt, bright green bushes and cooler temperatures make for a perfect spring day in the middle of July! It’s fun to follow three or four friends down one of Big Bear’s winding singletrack runs and only see pine needles and mud being kicked up by the flailing knobby’s in front of me.
Our weather man says that we’re getting some more storms soon and I hope he’s right because I’m ready for more summertime rain. If you ever see rain in Big Bear’s forecast, pack your stuff and come on up to enjoy the trails. You could be just like the locals and experience what it’s like to rip it up on a “powder” day in the middle of July!
