Tree down on yellow. Maybe the guy removing all the rocks can remove this too.

Today?

I only rode black, yellow, green and Cromwell today but surprisingly good out there! The leaves and wind has helped.
A few muddy spots on black but in expected areas.
It’ll only get better this week!

Red ,blue and white were fantastic last night. Grippy and slippery all in one

i'm hoping to get out this wknd to ride the new blue re-route and the new trails east of vosseler. i've ridden it once or twice but have gotten turned around a few times...

does anyone have a "route" for that section?

this is the loop we managed to eke out last time around...

thanks!

ah, i just went back through the thread and i see that now. these are the so-called "cromwell trails"?

 

[hls811]

Yup, the new stuff is Cromwell. In another thread I did post a route that I take there, but I popped in over the weekend and it may change. There’s still work going on there - looks like some additional improvements to the drainage.

Current conditions?

Current conditions?

I haven't been out, but plenty of rain Sunday, more Monday, and more last night. Some spots on the street are still wet right now so my guess trails are sloppy at best?

Current conditions?

Snuck out for a short loop today, all of red (save that one forever puddle on lower interior) and the little bit of blue I rode were perfectly fine, no water problems.

The new stuff on white from Friday's TM session is also in terrific shape. Some of the surrounding area on white is greasy (not surprising).

Biggest hazard all over is all the leaves, seems like the ground cover has tripled in last week hahaha.

Map below just to reference spots I hit and commented on. Completely rideable.

Everything is riding great. Only “wet” spots are lower blue as usual.

New trails and sections are riding fantastic.

@Kirt Someone needs to install some of these for the OG riders who ride from muscle memory and don't pay attention to where the trail was suddenly moved.

That's why I try and rake the leaves to the lead up for anything new/changed. I think that should be a signal of some sort. And luckily modern bikes have great brakes.

Got back earlier than expected yesterday while there was still daylight and rode the new route. Excellent, tho that muscle memory did almost send me to a very very bad place hahaha. Thumbs up on another great re-route.
