Trying to sneak out for a nooner today. @GreenMTBrider posted on Twitter an hour ago that the ground is drying quickly but still not GTG. He is estimated it will be good this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Just now, quixoft said: It wasn't much. I'm about a mile away and not even a 1/4 inch in my gauge. It rained for all of 4 minutes for me. I was just out about an hour ago. Ground was soft enough that I was getting dirt picked up on my shoes. It’s drying fast though and even in usually low spots we didn’t have much of any standing water. By noon they’ll likely be bueno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I went out around 1:30 and rode Rim, BR, and DD in both directions. The trail was in great shape but be cautious of large, low-hanging branches. I got walloped on the top of the head by a couple of them that I don't recall hanging that low, even as of last Fri. High winds may have brought some of the weakened branches lower. There was a huge oak branch with attached limbs laying directly across the trail on western DD, right where a switchback rounds a large tree. I ran straight into at at low speed and was trying to figure out how I ended up off the trail. Then I realized I was still on the trail. Interestingly there was no evidence of that branch coming off of any nearby tree. Seems more like somebody drug it over there. I cleared it off the trail and laid it adjacent to the barbed wire fence that runs along that section of trail. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I just rode Peddlers and 1/4. Both had small stuff on the trail that I think the wind has moved around. The wind was super strong so I think clearing them right now is a waste of time. I also whacked my head in a spot on 1/4 I have never done that. I can't tell if the tree is leaning over more or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop back around, there are 2 lines part of the way. Makes a great loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to Austin Fire while they were out there. Was told it was a shoulder injury from a cycling accident. Looked like it occurred on Picnic based on where the ambulance drove down to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then ran into a guy on an e-bike that said he was sizing up the drops on upper Picnic. Hope whatever happened wasn't too serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of seeing someone who seemed like a grandma on a stepover bike with whom I think is her grandaughter on 1/4 and I think two boys farther ahead were with them. All wearing helmets, grandma with a smile on her face walking her bike down (W-E) one of the rocky/scree filled short sections close to the East end start. I thought it was awesome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Man Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I rode Brushy for the first time in a while this week, observations. Even worse than my home trails, from the looks of it there was lots of tree maintenance that had to happen. Nice work everyone Rode Snail and then (sorry im sure there is a new trail name) came across the 6 signed options to go down. Had to phone a friend to find out which one to take. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for reminding me of this. Until Wednesday, I had not ventured West of 1/4 entry on the BCRT. I had seen a lot of clean-up on 1/4, but West of 1/4 on the BCRT, the destruction and the work involved was incredible. Some of those trees and branches were humongous! Good work everyone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the “sanctioned” trails and BCRT... 5+ miles of the BCRT cleared plus mtb trails 12 volunteers 45+ person hours 50+ cleared down trees/limbs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to be drying very quickly. Areas without shade are dry, however, low areas still have standing water and walking the east side of 1/4 Notch 5 minutes ago I was getting some dirt caking on my shoes. 4PM may be good for 1/4. Can’t speak to other trails but it’s possible picnic, Rim, Snow White are GTG based on what I saw on 1/4. Double Down and other shaded trails may need a tad more time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotdurt Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) What does a clean bike (post-ride) say? It says, "go get some before it rains again!" Conditions are perfect, but they won't be tomorrow... Edited March 24, 2021 by gotdurt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
