The last thing he wants is to hurt someone that can't control the urge to stay off the trail. Also, don't ride on the new stuff until it's ready. Last night after the builders stopped working a lot of people went around the barricades and signs. Be patient. If you ride on a section before it's finished you could be unknowingly screwing something up causing the builders to go back and fix that section you just rode on instead of moving forward to the next part of the trail. Some of the people I saw doing it last night know better. all these rules.. you are officially the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbetzing Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Rode from my house (Brightwater/Wyoming Springs) to the YMCA and back just now. Didn't really get off the BCRT. Hot mess out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ride into the new development. Some bug hucks in there right now and you can rut it up all you want.

I wanted to go for a ride before work tomorrow and wasn’t sure where if any trails would be dry enough to ride. Might as well go take advantage of all the dirt their pushing around over there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Deception was not in good shape yesterday with a number of areas with standing water, ruts, and mud. I don’t expect it to be any better now, but will check this evening. Saturday will likely be good. Picnic was surprisingly okay for riding. Some slick spots and typical low spots but rideable. Peddlers is not ready.

rbetzing Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Report from the eastside - As you can see, Brushy creek swallowed up the bottom of gumdrop. Rode over to Snow White, which is totally rideable. Also rode most of gumdrop from west to east and it’s in good shape. I’d never known about the rest of “Candyland” until I saw the kick ass map that First Blood posted. I went up Snow White around what I believe is Joshua’s drop(y’all are crazy) then rode along that upper trail by the golf course( think it’s called “abort” on the map.) Finally saw the end of gnargasm in person, had only seen that ramp over the boulders in pictures and videos. Y’all are f*ckin crazy. Went up what believe was caddy shack, there was some wet limestone along a somewhat exposed ledge, sketchy enough that I walked my happy ass back up to that abort trail and rode a few sessions on the jump at the bottom of Snow White. Also rode playground which is in great shape except for one small rutty spot. Super cool discovering some new trails, but my rookie ass is gonna stick to peddlers pass for a while lol.

Emma Long is in great shape for the most part and they just changed the direction of the trail. I personally really like the new direction.

Chief Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Emma long is definitely a hike a bike trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Also rode Emma Long yesterday and had a great ride. Was pretty busy out there between mountain bikers and dirt bikes! I definitely prefer the trail in this direction, and quite a bit more is ridable for me in its new configuration. Even did two laps (although we skipped the upper loop on our second pass through), which is something I haven't done out there e in quite some time! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosmithy Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 ok, someone has to ask.....anything at Brushy in shape enough to ride today? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I rode everything yesterday after the work party. Everything is gtg with the exception of the DH trail down from YMCA. It had quite a bit of water at the bottom. Everything else is 97% dry with a few wet spots, like the rollers in Peddlers Pass and some light streams on 1/4 Notch. You just have to be careful not to rut or widen those spots. Edit...oh, and the creek has taken over the very end of Anklebiter (is that what it's called?). You can walk it out though.

I think the climbing is even harder CW than it was CCW, and that is saying a lot. Rode it on my long-travel 27.5 yesterday, which was fun bombing down the descents but a bitch getting up those ledgy climbs. Definitely prefer the 29er out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
