6 Mile Run Conditions

Did a little digging later on Sunday. The soil is damp but not wet for the first 2-4".. below that it is bone dry.

Pretty much perfect conditions right now.

Until we see the freeze/thaw, this is as good as it gets.
 
Not bad at all tonight. Did most of the park. I posted in lost n found.

Found tonight "on" on Red near orange merge near the power lines. PM if yours.

Starting to get dusty already in the fields. First field on blue from canal lot got a total haircut - looks really weird. But jay added a bunch of whoop-de-doos to make it interesting

If anyone wants to dig on weekday mornings, I am out most days from 9-11. Message me the night before.
 
Is it safe to ride 6mi without hi viz clothing since they are hunting? I was planning on going tomorrow morning but may go to cr instead since they don't hunt there
 
That would explain the horse crap that was everywhere today. It's so fucked up that they are allowed to shit on the trails.

always wondered why there's no requirement to "curb" your horse like dogs, at least bring a shovel/rake a take off the trails folks....

Don't fk with horse people. They are well connected, organized and rich.

Many of the trails that are closed to mtbs have at least something to do with horse folks.

horse dung is good for the soil, dog dung is not
horse dung does not carry the disease and become a potential health problem the way dog dung can and does.
there are far more dogs than horses dropping dung all over.

ps I am a horse lover so may be biased. horse dung does not smell near as gross as dog dung.

This is true. Riding through horse manure is annoying, but doesn't stink to high hell for the rest of the ride.
 
Sorry, not buying it. I despise the equestrians. Love the horses, doe. They are beautiful majestic creatures. The asses on top of them, not so much.

If you're going to look down your nose at me, could you at least give the poor animal a break and dismount...

Are there exceptions? Of course, lots of them. It's an opinion based on numbers, nothing more.
 
Horse folks are the main reason MTB is banned at South Mountain.

Don't like horses or the folks that own/ride. Don't like my op too bad. Pick up after your animal.

mountain bikers are the main reason mtb is banned. back in the 80s people were buzzing the horses, cause hey, why slow down.
if every time they came across an equestrian, they pulled over, said hello, compliment their horse, and went on their way it would not have become a problem.

gee, watchung stables are attached to the park, you'd think they'd get a little respect. instead they spooked horses, and laughed about it.

yeah, for each pile of crap that i come across each year, there are 10 gu packs. and i'd say 3:1 bags of dog shit hanging from a tree, like they would pick them up.

I think you mean Watchung. SM is closed because all the rich homeowners want the place to themselves.

Agree on cleaning up after them. A ton on the canal last week and it was annoying
