Chimney Rock Conditions

[FlowVwade]

Any updates on conditions today? Nice weather but probably muddy/soggy?

Wasn’t too bad all thing considered.

This was me and eastbloc crossing the stream into white today.

Heading back to the car on Gilbride later. What a day.

But seriously, it’s gotta be pretty crappy considering the recent precipitation. One or two sunny days is not enough to dry it out.

I meet with some of the trails committee a last week to discuss some projects/issues for this year. Paul/High Tech offered a crew/equipment/material to knock some items off the punch list before their season kicks in. We tackled 2 leftover items from Ida. We re-stoned both sides of the Newmans bridge that had washed away. About 18 tons of stone. Thankfully they brought mechanized equipment, otherwise I might have quit. Then we headed over to lower blue to repair the double bridge that was displaced. We moved 1 bridge upstream and cut in new connectors. It should hold up till the next Big storm.
Thank you Paul for the continued, above and beyond, support and Larry B for lending a hand.

Some pics of blue. 1st is old location that was blown wide open by Ida, the bridge to nowhere.

Hot damn. 🔥 🥰

That is awesome. Especially the work on blue. I had two OTB incidents last fall thanks to those washed out bridges (and clumsy riding form)!

Amazing work @Kirt and the high tech guys, tempted to make a trip back to ride it!

Yeah, cuz CO has fewer legal trails than the UC.

I mean there's amazing trails for sure but the rock is one of a kind

Thanks @Kirt / Larry / Paul / High Tech! It's been so long since I've ridden Blue... looking forward to checking it out this weekend (if it doesn't rain again...)

Fantastic work, blue is one of my mainstays as it is closest to home. Very exciting.

Working with a HT crew tomorrow 3/18. Will be out much of the day as I want to take avdantage of the manpower offer. Message me if you want to come out and lend a hand for a bit. The more the merrier or something like that.

Current conditions?

 

[CNJRider]

Just rained here in Bridgewater on Thursday. Better off gravel biking it if you need to scratch the two wheeled itch. At least that's what I did today over at High Bridge.

Lots of muddy spots.
