Ringwood State Park Conditions

[Mr.Moto]

Tree down on poison ivy…

Otherwise conditions were very good while it is frozen. Southern facing trails will get soft as it warms up.

Is that coming down from Webley pond?

Yes.

Fire roads are rideable on a fat bike, I managed to make it down from Warm Puppy in one piece but it was sketchy at times. If it holds this way it’s a lot of fun. Get some.

 

[Joe J]

Anyone have an update on snow cover?

Ice Rink

I'm recommending Ice Skates. as well.

Somebody’s dog took care of it, she was exhausted afterward though. Hardest log she had to cut with a hand saw ever!

That is the case, truly.

Hiked 6 Bridges, Ramapo and Renegade today, single track is mostly frozen snow and supports weight well, but the lower part of the trails and fire roads are mostly one giant sheet of ice.

Yep. Mix of conditions today. Studded tires helped in some icy spots. Other areas started softening up as temps got above freezing.

Tree down on 6 bridges loop, just past the Erskine Access connector.

How did the trails look? Still some snowpack and ice on the single track?

 

[serviceguy]

I was there on Saturday last, as of Sunday conditions had changed greatly already.

Snow has now vanished from my front yard while it was still 100% covered in snow as of Sunday, so my guess it's a mud fest right now...

 

[Cannonbill]

Yeah, my yard is clear on the east facing sides, slush/thaw on the west facing sides. The rain and warmth should have the trails clear pretty soon I’m thinking, maybe in time to harden back up on Sunday with the cold.

Trails are a mess right now, you should really try and stay away from the park.

Apparently NICA had an event at Ryerson in spite of the conditions, I don’t have any details but it doesn’t sound like the best idea ever…

Do you think the overnight freeze will help for tomorrow?

 

[serviceguy]

Maybe for an early ride before the temperature goes up. I’m no expert but there’s a lot of wet that needs to dry. Also, looks like it’s not going above freezing tomorrow so maybe.

Had an early walk with Bailey in the Ryerson area, frozen but pretty beat up, lots of ruts from MTBs as well as quads and dirt bikes. By the time I was coming back at 8:00 am it was already starting to soften and cars with bikes were showing up at the school…

2 trees down on school house trail. The new trail out of parking lot c has a big one down. There were others but I don’t know all the trail names. Wind storms really did a number on the dead trees.
