biga9999 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I had a similar thought. If I go out, I will prob limit myself to Peddlers Pass. But that's just me. Would suck to get the Rona because I broke my other clavicle. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSlow Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 With all non-essential surgeries postponed it will not be fun to find out what is considered essential and what isn't post crash. Ride safe y'all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Figured I'd post a quick update on there... Just ventured out and checked out 1/4 Notch and Picnic to use barometers for other trails. Still very tacky even in exposed areas with muddy sections. I didn't go far on either trail and was having plenty of dirt pickup on my tires. I imagine with the temps today that 1/4 Notch and other rocky composition trails will be g2g or close to g2g later in the afternoon. I would be surprised if trails aren't g2g tomorrow morning, but personally I'd recommend holding off today to minimize trail erosion/damage. I do plan to go out again after work today to see how things are progressing. If anything changes I'll let you all know. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throet Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I'm going to stick with yard work this evening and try to sneak in a ride tomorrow if things dry out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We understand that there is risk involved in riding trails especially technical ones. I'll probably stick to my gravel bike for the foreseeable future. I certainly don't want to be responsible for taking up bedspace or adding to the work load that our hospitals and health care workers are facing right now. I know I can get hurt on my gravel bike but the risk of that is considerably less then with MTB. JMPO. I actually think this is really smart. Lots of time to ride when this is all over, but if you sustain a major injury right now, could be really bad if you need a long hospital stay. Me, myself - I've switched over to my other hobby - disc golf early in the morning when social distancing is ez 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got done doing 20 miles on the gravel bike. I highly doubt the trails will be ready tomorrow. There was a lot of areas on the H&B with standing water. Trails looked very soupy from what I could see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobra Kai MTB Guy Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Saw a girl riding on bcrt with a face mask and no helmet today. You know, for when The only thing you wanna catch is a brain injury. Also came up on a guy who took a header on the bigger drop on the west end of Picnic. Hope you’re ok if you post here. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the same Chief I met out on the road in my Mojo jersey a couple months ago, stay safe out there. And good advice here. You'd think you were a safety professional or something 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have the scars forever. I'm assuming you mean the tree on the other side of the "creek" if you do that bigger roll in drop next to the bridge. I clipped the tree and it shot me into that rock face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will fall one day and get turned into a sweet feature. What tree are you referring to? Is it a recent lean or fall? Does it need to get removed for safety? Or is it maybe just a tree a bit in the way as is?.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobra Kai MTB Guy Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 That scares me that I don't know which tree this is. I've probably barely missed it a lot of times. This is on the west end of Picnic where the two drops and one roller are, right after the root drop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of trees that need removing, the deadfall across the trail beneath Swag. It’s too big for one person (ok, maybe one type A guy w/attitude) but I think two guys can move it out of the way. If anyone wants to team it with me, post up and we can try it on a DD ride or just access it easily from BCRT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horncpa Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hey, I am wanting to take my leaf blower out to Peddler's Pass in the next day or so. I'm sure the answer is yes, but would the trail steward have any problem with blowing the leaves off the trail. It's getting pretty slick. @GreenMTBrider @HoneyBadger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly I’ve been enjoying the challenge of picking my line carefully with all the leaves. And the berms still provide tons of grip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
