Makes sense...

Side note, I was out yesterday afternoon riding SN and around the church area. Have y'all been making new trails other than the the jump line area? I ran across one yesterday that I didn't recognize and looked somewhat new. Strava called it roller coaster and it's the blue path in the image. It was really, really fun so good job to whoever created it recently. And if it's old, shame on me for never seeing it considering I've ridden those trails a lot. But I haven't been out since June as I broke an ankle playing hockey and then once that healed I broke my collarbone at the Walnut BMX park. 
 

Fairly new stuff from AJ. I enjoy it. 

What he said. Got a lot of rain this morning so it was sloppy most of the day. I did walk over to 1/4 about 20 minutes ago and it was starting to look okay, so I’m hoping tomorrow morning is GTG for most trails. 

Added more rocks around each post which aren’t pictured here. 

Fixed it. 
 

Just pinged @HoneyBadgerabout this. Jerks! 

Heard there’s a tree down at wall. I won’t be able to make it out there until tomorrow morning so use caution. 

@rugger it’s been a shit show, largely due to the increase in riders in the past year. 

No IMO needed, the berms need serious work soon. I started by trying to address the bypasses (constant battle) and also worked on pulling in some of the lines that have widened significantly. Next step should be repairing drainage issues and the berms. l’ll shoot you a PM. 

@Cafeend

Thanks to @horncpa for the help yesterday moving the cedar logs over to the drop on Picnic. That was an adventure! 
 

@First Bloodi was hoping to use my kayak hauling rig that I use on my gravel bike. Decided that physics would have kicked my butt. Braking would have been sketchy given the weight. Ended up using the trolley and walking the pieces. 

I’ll try to make it out there. I’m going to be moving a couple of 10’ cedar logs over to Picnic after work. Hoping that won’t take long. I’ll have to snap a picture of how I’m moving these things 😂

Trails going to be good this afternoon? Mostly thinking Peddlers with my son. 

 

Very doubtful Peddlers will be ready this afternoon.

Essentially, nothing out here is primo. In fact, rocky sections are plenty slick once you’ve accumulated some moisture on your tires. With that being said, the following trails are okay to ride without damaging them...

Picnic - GTG
1/4 - GTG
Double Down - GTG
Rim - GTG. Holy smokes that was sketchy!
Peddlers - Left the chain up for now. East side rode fine although tacky, west side has some slimy areas that are getting damaged. 

Suburban Ninja 🥷- GTG

Planning on doing some brushy tomorrow pm. Anybody know if the trail conditions are ok?

Yea, I was out there walking at 2:30 in between meetings. 
 

Should be okay to ride tomorrow morning. Shaded parts of Quarter were slick, like almost busted my ass walking slick. East side of Quarter was sloppy still but should just be tacky tomorrow morning. 
 

Picnic was rideable. Creek crossings will muddy, but no surprise. 
 

I plan to be out there early tomorrow morning and plan to post a full report.

Let me know if you wanna hand with clearing it.

Thanks but I took care of the two downed trees this morning. Didn’t walk all of it, so if you’re aware of any of low branches feel free to take care of them. 

About 4 hours ago. Was it you?

Any plans on clearing the down/low branches on Gum drop/ankle biter?

Yep. I had someone ping me on Twitter earlier today about the downed trees. I’ll be out there in the morning to clear them.

So, how long does it typically take for these trails to dry out after snow?

I was out there this morning inspecting trails and clearing downed trees. Trails are still muddy with numerous large puddles still present. Will need probably 2 more days for most trails.

Could someone go give Mittens a jacket for his rattle?

 

Woah, did you see that on the trail today? 

Now I’m over here wondering how gullible I am 🤔

Anyone been out there this morning? 

@Cafeendyou da man!

Trail conditions anyone? 

Im in North Texas now, but from what I’ve seen posted by AJ and others conditions are still very muddy. 

Rode Gandalf yesterday for the first time plus the new trail. What a blast! I’ll have to say, SN may be my favorite trail in this area. 

Yea I was about to say... 1/4 was good yesterday but once that fog rolled in everything got soaked. Definitely makes for a spicy ride. 

Trail status...

1/4 - GTG
Double Down - GTG
Picnic - GTG
Peddlers - chain up, still soft
Snow White - GTG
Gnargasm - GTG
Ankle biter - GTG
Suburban Ninja - GTG. Hit one baby puddle

Trails are not yet primo but getting there.
