Rode there last Sat before the snow and it was running great.

Was there last night. Needed a mileage check for the end of the 40. Had the fixed gear out. We were first to use a lot of the trails since the last snow. What was the question? Oh yeah, everything is great.

On last evening’s ride 4-2-25, as we crossed over the bridge on the white trail at Pakim Pond, we noticed that there were 3 planks that needed to be replaced. It’s rideable. Now that we have a steward, is this the thing we need to tell him? If so, under this heading?

planks have been replaced.

Anyone interested in seeing what Brendan Byrne has to offer should try one or more of Jim McCabe's Wednesday evening rides. The ride starts at the park office parking lot at 4:30. Jim's rides are like a box of chocolates: You never know what you're gonna get. It is usually a mixture of marked and unmarked traisl; the unmarked trails (worn fire cuts, old and current dirt bike trails, deer paths, etc.) are the secret sauce of these rides. I'd be surprised if there is anyone else out there who can connect the wide variety of trails in Brendan Byrne the way Jim does. The rides are generally at a relaxed pace, the mileage is usually around 15 miles, and we usually ride about 2-2.5 hours

Down in sand land the fat bike is my preferred weapon, even a 3” tired gravel bike is not enough at times as the sand gets thick, especially after a dry week.
