6 Mile Run Conditions

[CarltonH]

I noticed this yesterday as well.. Looks like every branch is hanging like a foot lower. My assumption is that the trees are now holding water and this is weighing the branches down. I've never seen this phenomenon before honestly.

Makes sense. And I fully admit to being stupid—I had been ducking branches all day and knew full well there’s always a low hanger over that first kicker headed toward Middlebush. But I was feeling a bit too good on the bike and now I get a brand new helmet after only 35 days.

I’m of the taller ilk and experienced the same the past few days I was out. I’ll be busting out the hedge trimmer in the next couple days.

Conditions were great today and loved the improvements on red near the 27 lot! I don't miss those roots 😅

Risk of head puncture has been mitigated. Plus a much better sight line… that is until everything grows in about a month from now.

Thanks for this! I'm 6'4" and always have problems with clearance.

Let me know if there’s any other trouble spots. I’m the same height and know some others I’m gonna hit. I also hit the twisties of Jacques so that’s clear too.

I was there yesterday, conditions were dusty but terrific. There were a couple of low hangers on Red and Orange I was able to mitigate with the Gomboy.

Anyone know how the conditions are currently?

This leaner on red has been felled.
There's still a few remaining nuisance low leaning trees on red 27 side.

 

[Dusty the Whale]

A triple leaner.... 2 miles in from 27 lot.

Conditions are really good

 

[FlowVwade]

Can confirm awesome conditions.

Sad to see so many new ruts (mostly on blue)...only took one or two rain events...looked better end of march/start of april. We are lucky to have such nice weather right now.

It is disappointing to see people out, riding after such a heavy rain event. What no one here knows, is there is a new superintendent of the park. Now more than ever it’s important for us all to be on our best behavior. Gutting the trail after the heavy rain certainly gives ammunition to those would rather that we weren’t out there at all and trust me.. There are plenty.

Rain ended Sunday morning. New ruts must be from Sunday or, maybe, yesterday. Likely Sunday because all trails were dry and firm today. Need to wait at least 24 h to ride after the heavy rain on Saturday. I went today but was prepared to turn around if conditions were wet/muddy.

I concur with Sunday... it's been sunny and breezy would have been fine 48hrs later. Six drains out way better now with all the improvements made over the years.

J is not talking out of his ass here! There is plenty opposition to mtb usage in our park systems. We (collectively) really must change our ways as I can tell you we are our own worst enemies. Trash aside, our community seems to be entitled to do what we want on state property…jumps, rogue trails, and leaving behind tracks only makes it more difficult for trail advocates like Jdog. Please consider the repercussions of your actions.

I see 2 posts saying conditions are awesome and the rest about ruts, all posted today. Is it good or bad? Planning to ride before work tomorrow.
