Bedminster gravel conditions

[Red Mosquito]

Has anyone been out in Bedminster after the dustings the last few days? I'm wondering if the roads are iced up or OK to ride.

Was there on the 31st.
Bedminster gravel roads are ice ice baby. Cut the ride short.
River Rd is mostly ice free, but pothole-palooza. Climb up to Trump slick ice.
The gravel climb part of Island & Treetop are super icy. That's where I turned around and took River Road back.
Paved roads are clear.
Should be good on a studded fat bike 🙃

Curious how messy it'll be this weekend. Temps look favorable for once.

I’m almost tempted to take a drive down and do some recon I would hate to get all the way there and start riding to find its crap. if I do go ill report back here.

I heard the conditions were good out of River Rd. Haven't been out there myself so YMMV.

It’s good to go along all roads around larger cross. Have at it

Is Columbia Trail accessible or is it still snow covered?

Rode past yesterday on the roads. I wouldn’t even try this on a Fatbike but that’s just me.

That looks pretty good considering for all mtb tires

South end of Island Road near the reefer plant is solid.

Can anyone advise where to park and what general loop to ride in order to get onto this elusive gravel?
