Allaire Conditions

[EJphotos]

Yeah, it's always been slightly-tacky-to-mucky in that area, but it blew out the last year(s) with the massive increase in traffic. It'll "dry out" completely sometime in late December if it gets real cold this year, then maybe by June it'll be actually dry.

Much of the park fares better, though I laud your turning around when you saw something bad. Usually rain in the last few days means that area is wet, if not muddy. Skirt around to the north on the map, which is usually dry. If so, you're probably good for everything other than the river trail.

Gotcha. Last time I rode allaire was back in November, so theres that. Yeah I noticed wet trails right as soon as I left the lot...so I wasn't sure how far I was actually going to make it. Seeing that mud put was the deciding factor lol

It was wet but not really muddy. A few splashes here and there, tiger woods was fine except one spot of black greasy mud after a rooty plunge about half way through.

What is the story of this old truck? Any idea on model and/or year? Sure many have seen it as its by the airplane field

Oddly enough, it's pretty hard to see unless you stop at the bottom of the trail for some reason.

Busy day today. Found a water bottle on Blind. Left at the trailhead.

That’s one of 2.5 cars on that side of the park. All within 20 feet of the trail.

Really light rain last night, nothing substantial. It has however rained pretty much all day today. Not sure what tomorrow will look like at the park.

Was going to head down today but chose 2 slices of chicken parm pie and a Head High instead of riding.

And after the “yet” part you know those Bands stated rolling in. The sponge soaked em up for an hour or so but then it started getting drainy. Time to git.

Thanks to Greg O for taking care of the Big down tree by the bridge.
Amazing how rotten the bottom of this tree was. Completely rotted for 10 feet up yet still stood tall for 80ft.

Rode Brisbane yesterday and it was Great. Was not near true Allaire but did see riders on Strava there. Have fun.

Will be fine. A few puddles throughout the park--stay in the middle/go slow 🙂

General Allaire post rain guidance: give it a day and steer clear of the river trails.

I think the person that built this knows its gone as the post here is gone... but who the hell made this happen...

IMO the bridge was a welcome addition, and certainly safer than a single span of plank grate. While I enjoy the challenge of the skinny, sad to see it go.

Got it and getting lost. Met Robin the Dino builder

It's still to the down-hill side of the stream, in the brush.

Looking a lot skinnier and woodier than the last time I saw them. I think I see some bones, too 😉
