Sourlands Mountain Preserve Conditions

[gmb3]

Standing/running water everywhere today. Bridges were instant death. Those demo bikes got trashed. If it werent a demo day, i wouldnt have even ridden. This place needs a few dry days and also a pruning. Thorn bushes reaching out into the trail everywhere on the lower stuff.

The roads were shady and cool thru the S-lands

I was out around 5 today. Everything was pretty dry except for the occasional mud and the lower trails which still had standing water.

I came across two downed trees too. One on the climb up to red, a little before the fish. The other on one of the bridges between 6 and 7. That last one has actually been there for a little while now but I'm assuming the park wouldn't look to kindly on random people going in with saws.

Yeah, came across the downed tree btwn 6 & 7 on Saturday (don't normally ride that section). Looks like it could be a one-cut and drag situation to remove ...

Anyone know if it rained out here? I was thinking of heading out this afternoon.

 

[blackburn1973]

Don't think it did (didn't by me and I'm 1/2 hour away). Got out yesterday in late afternoon and conditions were SWEET. There's a good sized downed tree near top of 4 that I hadn't seen before ... just want to be aware of it if you're bombing down.

No rain the the last 24 hours. Should be good to go.

 

[gmb3]

AMAZING tonight! Dry, hardpacked, clean and pruned.

 

[blackburn1973]

Just what I wanted to hear. Going out later today around 5:30 if anyone's interested.

 

[blackburn1973]

Conditions last night were beautiful ... least amount of water I've seen on the creek crossing on Montezuma's to date ... Anyone local know how much rain SL got last night/early this morning?

 

[J-Dro]

Anyone local know how much rain SL got last night/early this morning?

Not much at all. Plenty of thunder this morning but not much rain.

 

[blackburn1973]

I may join you as well. Have a buddy coming down for the weekend. So this works out in my schedule.

 

[snashters]

Might see you guys up there, I'm heading out early early. Hating the heat.

 

[blackburn1973]

I'm in. Had been planning on 9, but will do the hour earlier to beat the heat and ride with some folks. See you there.

Not a regular here but it seemed very dry/rideable. Started at 930 and the rocks/roots were a tad damp, but no mud anywhere. The rocks became tackier as the day went on.

Is tackier a word?

Is tackier a word?

Maybe you mean Tachyon.
