Are you guys still riding ?  Any trail condition reports?

I checked the trails this morning. They were very muddy. In fact just this afternoon, since my offices windows face where the 1/4 Notch entrance is, I’ve seen 4 teenagers on mtn bikes with tires that were absolutely caked. So that’s cool. 
 

I plan to check the trails again tomorrow morning, but they likely won’t be g2g until later tomorrow or Wednesday. 

Anyone know what trail maintenance is planned for 3/24-3/27? Saw a city sign this weekend. 

I’m okay with trail runners because I am one. In fact, I’ve been putting more miles on my shoes than my bike this past year training for races. 
 

Biggest problem I have are these Pokémon Go’ers... 

Just had a decent shower pass thru here. Fairly wet and slick. 

Trails are bueno btw. 

Good to know. Word does spread quickly, but I knew one of you OGs would have some info. 

I just heard from someone that Dave's Loop was being closed today by WILCO. Anyone aware of this? Is this fake news?!?!?!

Well, no rain last night, less than 1/10th inch yesterday early early morning. Trails were good Sunday, good Monday.... what’d I miss? 

Get out there!

Just rode deception (Wednesday lunch). it was gtg, save a handful of puddles on quarter.

chain is up on peddlers, didn't try anything else, assumed they were probably a bit too wet.

Cool, thanks for the update. I've been putting fires out at work and will be until late today, so im going to use your feedback to update the twitter feed. 

On Deception now. Trails is rideable with minimal dirt pickup on tires but damn these rocks are slick. I’d probably hold off on riding until the sun can evaporate this mornings condensation.

How much rain did brushy get?

Rain gauge shows a tad but right now everything appears wet and my front yard is soft. I’m going to head out now and see how the trails look. 

I bet Tree Magnet did it. It’s in the name... 🤔🤔🤔

Do you know if the tree is by the EMS point? I'll try to get out there tomorrow with my pickup and remove if it's still there.

F'ing ASSHOLES!!!

It’s by the West gravel entrance to the regional trail near Staked Plains and Springs Head Loop. Here’s a pic that Greg Stevens took. Todd was going to go out there and move it to the curb. My guess would be if it’s moved to the curb it’ll go right back into Brushy. 
 

I went out this morning for ride. Deception is g2g (watch for the Christmas tree some jackass dumped out there). Picnic and Mulligan are g2g. Typical wet spots on Mulligan. West side of Parmer on Peddlers Pass was still fairly tacky/slick with tutting occurring in some areas. East side was g2g, overall the West side needs more time to dry in my opinion. Snow White, Gumdrop were g2g. I didn’t check out Rim or Snail but given how Deception was I imagine they’re good.

Yeah. I put chain back up. 
 

All but peddlers is good to ride. Go get it while you can! Slick rocks in places but drying quickly. Rim Job was only place it got real precarious. Skipped Gnargasm. 

Awesome thanks for the update! I used it to update the twitter feed. 9 more updates from you and you’ll have enough points for a free beer! 

It’s great out here now! 

Shower passed thru Brushy this morning. Trails are rideable (including Peddlers) but the biggest problems are the rocks, roots and leaves which are very slick. 
 

I’d recommend not riding until this afternoon or tomorrow when things aren’t as sketchy. Unless you like sketchy, then go for it.

I did. It was real nice. Picnic was fine. 1/4 was tits. DD was nice. Ditch was wet of course but RJ was sweet as usual. I did the west side of PP but bailed after the new berms as it was not muddy but I accumulated too much. I'm sure tomorrow and Tuesday will be great as well

Yea it’s drying up quick. I rode this morning and it was too slick. Was getting caking on picnic and Deception was slick. Morning condensation probably didn’t help. I’m working in front of my house now and the soil is looking pretty good.

Any trail condition reports? Thinking of riding tomorrow 

Word on the street is that most trails should be g2g tomorrow. I’d wait until after lunch when trails have had a little more time to dry. 

How were trail conditions? I checked out 1/4 Notch and Picnic ridiculously early this morning. 1/4 Notch was good, Picnic was caking pretty bad. 

Sweeettt!

Just landed from a Moab/Grand Canyon trip and was hoping to get some riding in tomorrow.

Saw someone rode Peddlers on Strava this morning and they said their tires are clean.  I don't know any other details.  My wife is headed out there right now.

Let me know and I’ll update the feed. 

On 1/4 Notch now. Typical East entrance slickness but rest of trail is bueno. 
 

I’ll update this post as I check things out.

*Update*
1/4 Notch - Slick at East entrance, but rest of trail is good to go! 

Deception - G2G. Watch for slick spots when riding in the morning. 

Picnic - Couple low spots have water, but rest of trail is g2g. Watch for those slick leaves!!! 

Mulligan - Wet g-outs. Blah. 

Candyland - g2g, but Gumdrop gets sloppy near the creek. 

Didnt check Rim and Snail but I know from the above they’ll be rideable. 
 

Enjoy!

Trails still slimy and soupy? Or are we clear for liftoff? 

checked Twitter to no avail

 thanks in advance for any info mah sheon

 

Yea sorry guys, worked a 13 hour day yesterday so by the time I got home I was spent. 
 

If anyone gets out there today let us know how things look so I can update the feed. 

Rode this morning. Minimal dirt pickup from Deception, Picnic and Snow White. Mulligan (g-outs), Gnargasm and Peddlers need more time to dry. With that being said, damp ground/leaves suck and I was hurting for traction on some of the rocky sections. I personally wouldn’t go out of my way to ride at Brushy today. RPR would be a better option.
