RED/WHITE/BLUE as good if not better than last Wednesday before the 3 days of rain.
Only bad spots were the usual. The latter half of the switchbacks on blue and that one flat area on red (the usual spot).

Locally, Monday weather was clear and there was some light rain yesterday morning. My hope is the conditions are similar to the last report.
I'm planning to get out there tomorrow morning, I'll update if no one has yet.
Conditions are surprising pretty solid. I didn’t do blue, so that’s not included, though I would think it mostly fine. There are still some wet areas, so don’t be shocked to get a bit dirty. A good sign is some sections that were wet often this winter are starting to dry out. Tomorrow should obviously be even better.

Doesn't look like a serious threat, hoping it holds off. I'll be out the door by 7:15 and will chime in.

@Bikeworks I don't see any signs that it rained overnight.
4 miles east of CR and it's dry here. You're good to go.

Just did a quick ride on red white and blue. Conditions are in line with the recent posts, not much has changed with the recent rain.
Blue was the worst of it and probably not a great choice. The climb up from Newmans was fine but all of the usual spots coming back down were a bit of a mess.

this is what i hit today, better condition than yesterday, so don't know what if any rain fell over night
blue twisties getting better, one small spot of standing water, otherwise the latter half of them a bit mushy is all
red usual spot (first flat coming up newman's side from lot) has some water...lower interior red also has a little standing water
white had like 2 small puddles
all of the above could be ridden around for the most part

Wishing I could, working tomorrow.
There was a little hospital visit tree across the top of Yellow that I took care of with the Silky. Just beyond the bend as you pick up speed to the lot
On the other side of Green on the return from Pink, just before you cross the road to hit the other entrance to Yellow, there's a big tree that's cracked on the left hand side, leaning against another tree. I only noticed it because I was clearing some trail debris and it was creaking, got out of there quick!
I got a chance to finally hit the other side of Orange, not sure if this section is a consistent problem but if not wanted to let everyone know.
Parking at Gilbride lot and working on lower black (Gilbride trails) to start. Afternoon will be the east side or Orange.
Working on this tomorrow and hoping to remedy it.
Thanks for the tree removal.
I'll figure out the other tree issue at some point.

As of late afternoon yesterday, everything was solid… the only bad spot was 1/3 the way up orange , 30’ stretch of quick sand😬
Did you get out this morning? Any update?
