Not on afghan haha. The tight rock squeeze on the yellow out and back, someone filled in the tight squeeze. I half unfilled it.

See, someone sanitized and the waco gods dropped a fatty right next to it:
Awkward tree to clear but will attempt this weekend
i know something would have fallen with that wind yesterday so rode with saw right off the bat from the gravel road. Took less than 0.1 mile to find the first branch bomb, then another , both easier to clear with a saw. On the pther side of the utility cut i found a 12-16 incher that fell alone the trail, meh, buck up time.
100 yards further, this mess. This vine tangle was nastyz
Ran out of battery and this one could still use some clean up but rides fine.
Over on yellow 5 trees down, all 12” +. One near start of afghan, one on afghan, two on the opposite side of yellow from afghan
and one on the yellow out and back near the stump ride thing
The last pic is the only one to consider keeping.
As expected lots of frozen sitting water and some aggro frost heave from the fastish freeze.
I didnt do red but would surprised is it was clear. The whole place will be a mess above freezing for the foreseeable future.

Yellow and Afghan are clear of big trees, the yellow loop, I think I picked up most of the sticks that matter and there’s may be a few more on the out and back to toss. Blue from 518 just needs some stick pick up, but is clear to ride. Red is the only unknown.
We are now in only ride when frozen time. Happy winter!

Red is clear and is decent and fully ridable. Similar to yellow there are these sections of leaves/ice/heave that are leg sucking.
Blue to the utility cut has the ice under snow, which is faster than its normal winter heav-ee self, just don’t turn fast. The rock garden on blue between red and yellow is ice between the rocks.
Yellow is clear and fully rideable. The rock garden at the beginning/end of the loop has some ice but I did clean it CCW. Afghan 518 section has ice too.
It all goes to poo on Tuesday so get it today or tomorrow!
