AntonioGG Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 You can get on your MTB and go do some sprints around your neighborhood, or some hill repeats. Don't give up your hard earned fitness just because you can't ride the trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4fun Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 I’d rather get on my road bike than stationary trainer, but with that being said dirt rules and asphalt drools! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only dropped-bar bike I have is a Specialized Crux cross bike and that is hooked up to my stationary trainer. I generally use my Crosstrail hybrid when I want to ride roads and crushed granite trails, as that has a flat bar. It is certainly heavier than the Crux, though! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I ride on the drops all the time, on the flats, climbing, descending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 So, any chance Brushy is ride-able this weekend? We had a LOT of rain here in Pf, almost 4 inches in the last three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think tomorrow 1/4 Notch and some of the other trails will be good to go. Peddlers will be closed tomorrow morning and afternoon and may open in the evening depending on conditions. I plan to check the trails before 7AM tomorrow and will post an update. Just FYI, here at 1/4 Notch we received about 2.5” of rain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) So without reposting all of the Brushy Creek Trail Conditions posts... 1/4 Notch: G2G. Some soft low spots remain. Ride thru or hike a bike over. Do not ride around, minimize trail widening. Double Down: G2G Picnic: G2G. Slightly tacky in areas. Typical soft low spots. Mulligan: G2G. Bottom of drops are wet. These take quite awhile to dry. Peddlers Pass: *update* G2G Other trails: Use caution. Snow White, Gnargasm, Rim are likely G2G. I didn’t have time to confirm but it’s a good guess based on other trail conditions. Gum Drop may be too soft, again use caution/common sense.

Albert Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 @GreenMTBrider and I spent several hours this morning at Brushy with the Brush Hog cutting away the tall grass along the entire length of Picnic, the beginning of 1/4 Notch, and whatever that trail is called that intersects with the 1/4 Notch entrance and runs along a field for some distance (I'd never been on it before, but walked its length twice today!!) Saw lots of people riding the trails while it was relatively cooler (that is, instead of hot as hell, it was just hot). A few photos: Some before shots of Picnic: Picnic during and after mowing: That other trail whose name I do not know: I look forward to riding Picnic again and being able to actually see oncoming riders and not having dirty nature rubbing constantly on my legs! ..Al 6 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First-Blood Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I hate when nature touches me. Thanks for doing that. I'll have that hog a little longer if you get the urge again. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I rode it a week ago only two-thirds of the southern section (leading to the trees) was cut, and it also needs to be trimmed beyond that under the tree cover for a ways.. The hog would make quick work of that. Would need to touch base with whoever is maintaining the trail to make sure they are okay with doing that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyBadger Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Is there anyone that can hang the chain across the entrance to Peddlers Pass this morning? I can't get to it until later today. With all the rain last night anyone that rides the trail will create ruts. With only 5 more building days before the race, the last thing we need is to spend our time fixing ruts. Thanks. *Endurarace is taking care of hanging the chain. Thanks Edited June 10, 2019 by HoneyBadger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biga9999 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Is the chain just for the race or is there any way to keep using it when needed going forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
