has anyone gone on since the big storm 2 mondays ago?

I cleared the tubes at the concrete bridge, and a rider coming through said there was nothing major down.

That was a week ago

I rode blue from canal lot to white ...then white to Jaques lot then headed back red to blue last Sunday....all was good then on that side

 

[Do over]

Anyone get a chance to see what it’s looking like? I know we got rain on Friday and last night. Hoping to get out there tomorrow morning. Thank you

I know someone that rode it early this morning and said it was a little greasy. The sun and heat this afternoon should have dried it out. It should be good for tomorrow. Let us know after your ride.

I rode yesterday blue, some of red, and white trails around 1PM and it was mostly okay. There were just a couple areas with some puddles in the middle of the trail but not a lot of mud. The end of blue was probably the worst.

 

[ekuhn]

There's some puddles but the balance is rideable. Hit it.

Anyone know if there was much rain last night?

 

[christryon]

I live close by and there was less than 1/2". Should be good for riding.

We'll be out tomorrow at 8a at the Canal lot to work on muddy spots on blue.

Whole trail is basically hardpack, so fast and loose. Sight lines aren't great (needs a trim), so don't go TOO fast.

Anyone been there today? I know it rained a bit but its been dry for a while? Hoping to get a ride in after work today.

 

[christryon]

I was out trimming the middle of blue. Conditions are perfect. Get out there and ride!

Six Mile is not ridable from Canal to 27 right now. We took a lot of damage from the storm. There's a blockage on red east of the concreate bridge that is not passable.

Some folks have been out doing an awesome job clearing the trails and reporting issues. Big thanks to @Juggernaut and @Wheres_Andy!

If anyone wants to help, reach out to me.

We're going to meet at the Canal lot around 5.45p and ride blue. @njmark if you'd like to ride along that would be great! Wear long pants and full sleeves in case we have to deal with poison ivy. Leather work gloves instead of riding gloves.

I got the obstruction mentioned above and the one on the skinny bridge. Park should be mostly ridable except for the logs on Blue you can climb over.

 

[njmark]

Ill see you all there.

 

[christryon]

@njmark I sent you a DM. I changed the start point, and hiking in not riding.

 

[njmark]

So google says those bees we encountered are likely mining or digger bees. Simultaneously the hardiest and most docile bees Ive ever encountered. Glad to meet you guys tonight and get the trail cleared up.

 

[christryon]

At this point, I think the park is rideable with no obstructions. Please let us know if you see any. Pics and a point on a map (Trailforks) helps. If you take a pic of a something use something like a glove or bike to show scale. That helps determine what tools to bring.

Huge thanks to @Juggernaut @Wheres_Andy @snashters @njmark Andrew H and anyone else that put in the effort over the last 2 days.
