Double Down - GTG Bob Ross - GTG Rim - GTG Snail - GTG - Still slick, but will be better later this afternoon Picnic - too soft. Recommended to hold off on riding until late afternoon/tomorrow Mulligan - Slop city. Don’t around don’t drown Peddlers - closed. Do not ride. Snow White - GTG. Sloppy creek crossing. Gumdrop - Sloppy, do not ride Nothing is primo yet and some standing water exists, but zero to minimal dirt pickup. Use caution on limestone surfaces due to moisture. That was a freakin humid 10 mile run this morning to check the trails. Blah. Can attest - rode Snail, Rim, and DD mid-morning and it was near primo. Humidity was bad but overall it was really pleasant with overcast skies and mild temps. I'm working all day tomorrow, but if there is additional limb trimming needed over the weekend, give me a hollar.

Thank you for saving me from either a road ride or a trainer ride! It actually cooled a bit while I was riding and some of the clouds cleared out. It was still super humid. I started strong then quickly faded away, but still had a blast. https://www.strava.com/activities/5373913489 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-Blood Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I saw them Thursday. They were chalk on the ground. This last rain should wash them away. I assumed something to do with little Bella's.There is a running group called Hashers or something that does this as well. Sound like this....? At a hash, one or more members ("hares") lay a trail, which is then followed by the remainder of the group (the "pack" or "hounds"). Sawdust, flour, or chalk are usually used to mark the trail. The trail periodically ends at a "check," The pack must find where it begins again; often, the trail includes false trails, short cuts, dead ends, check backs, and splits. These features are designed to keep the pack together despite differences in fitness level or running speed, as front-runners are forced to slow down to find the "true" trail, allowing stragglers to catch up.Members sometimes describe their group as "a drinking club with a running problem," indicating that the social element of an event is as important, if not more so than any athleticism involved. Beer remains an integral part of a hash. However, the balance between running and drinking differs between chapters, with some groups placing more focusing more on socializing and others on running.

AntonioGG Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I wish I'd taken some pictures. I saw marks in different colors, circles, exes. All in the dirt and all on their way to disappearing completely. This looked like chalk paint and not powder. In the past Hashers had used flour and/or chalk powder IIRC but it could be them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMTBrider Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Got a shower last night and a brief one moments ago while I was out checking the trails. Things will be really slick right now, so an afternoon ride may be a better option today. Latest update… 1/4 - GTG DD - GTG Picnic - GTG. Downed tree Bob Ross - GTG Rim - GTG Snail - GTG Gumdrop - muddy. DNR Snowwhite - GTG Suburban Ninja - muddy. Needs another day Wet low spots exist, but if it’s reported above there is zero trails minimal dirt pickup Edited May 31, 2021 by GreenMTBrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobra Kai MTB Guy Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Still too wet. I rode the east end of DD with no pickup but it’s slicker than whale dicks. Went to the east entrance of quarter and it was real mushy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully no rain tonight/tomorrow so hopefully something other than the path will be rideable. I know wishful thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Magnet Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 We checked out YMCA stuff up on the bluff and it was 90% of the way there.....and then it rained. Again.Everything is saturated and it’s going to take days of sun and wind to dry out.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I checked out Double Down , 1/4 and Picnic after work and they were good to go. Not primo, but rideable without getting dirt pickup. Unfortunately, it started raining here not too long ago. Whomp whomp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopped on the road bike to force feed myself some miles thinking Brushy would be too wet to ride.
