LOL,
I was there at 930, not only was the Lot packed but the road was full all the way up to the stop sign a half mile away.. Crazy packed. Wait till the trails up North are unrideable it is going to be crazy.. This has to stop. Please everyone , STAY AWAY, its too sandy!! Amiright @Frank ???
 
It's 2020 - this seems like a marketing campaign!

try this:
nobody wears a mask, and there are many close talkers.

Allaire is wet AF. At least another day (or two) would be a good idea--every turn of any speed/downhill orientation seems to be holding water. Rode for ~10 minutes this evening and turned around.

Oh, and I am just as out of shape single-speeding as I was 2 years ago when I hung that bike up. Apparently I'm the only one who is surprised by that :shrug:? Shame, I was just beginning to feel like I was hitting my stride when I got back to the car...

Sadly I think it’s due to the fact it was not safe to hold organized trail sessions. All the nicks need clearing as well as the leaf cover clogging some as well.

Place is a mess. I rode a couple trails yesterday, probably about 10 minutes and hit the eject button to greener pastures. The park has seen more usage in the past year than ever before and it's not holding up at all. In the past you could ride some of the park about 24 hours after rain, but you can't anymore. It needs a lot more time to dry out because of all the holes and ruts that are holding water.

Every other park has had trail maintenance, I don't know why Allaire hasn't figured it out. I am to the point of not dedicating my jorba membership to Allaire (my home park) and to other parks where they are doing work.

What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!..

I'll tell you what Mr. Choop, you meet me at the Allaire lot at 230 today and we'll settle this like men. Hope to see you there if you dare.
 
Well ill be dammed he showed up! After a few blows we settled our differences and got to work. Cleared out a ton of nicks, built a nice berm around a tough root turn, added drainage to a bad wet spot. All in all 2.30 hours of TM on Steelman. Thanks @choop for your help.

Nice work!
I rode Steelman on Sunday, one of my favorite trails at Allaire, and I noticed your work!

Thanks!!

Yes, I did this some time ago. Seems some of the louder voices have advertised this as the place to go during poor conditions. Hope they can keep up with the love.
