Help! Where to ride after so much rain?

[aonybiker]

I want to do 3+ hour rides off road but the rain and melting snow have made local trails (and even gravel) unpleasant at best and unridable at worst.

Where are some good places to ride MTB off road in/near Mercer County when most places are flooded?

Round Valley - From the boat launch to the Cush Parking lot and back.
(or the other way)

Towpath and Lawrence Hopewel Trail. It is all going to be slop though.

It is all going to be slop though.

this right here is the issue, with 1.5-2+ ft of snowmelt and then going on day 3 in a row of rain everything thats not paved is going to be a mess, if you dont want to ride on pavement your going to wait, or get dirty.

Google Maps

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

something like this, but keep going.
follow this climb from the lot, it sucks less than the other ways.

there is a new section by the south dam that is going to be a mess.
less than a mile of trail don't worry about tracking it up.

My advice to you? Start drinking heavily.

Between the wind and freezing temps you might be lucky to find places rideable this morning. The trail around the lake by my house was a swap yesterday morning and bone dry and rock solid this morning. I wish I checked early enough, I probably could've gotten a ride in at a place like Clayton.
