My issue is that I've been nursing some significant back problems for a week. I've not ridden since I saw you at your house last week. I could be a little flexible, but I was thinking about the regular 4:30 start time. -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Charlie posted a video of the creek at flood stage on Sun reporting that the trail was going to need a good bit of time. I'm really surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really surprised. @Barry, et al, if we end up at WC and condition don't support riding it....then I'm not opposed to hopping onto the bike path and heading over to "other places". 😉 (it will just be my back that will limit my effort, output and distance...) -CJB Edited September 25, 2018 by CBaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarneytx Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Good trails today. Last chance will be tomorrow morning, early, before cold front arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarneytx Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Not about the cold front, but apparently kxan had the timing off. Was supposed to be here late morning, but looks like it'll be afternoon at the earliest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Remember, cold front around these parts means it'll dip down to lower 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcarneytx Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It was also a bit underwhelming. Trails should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBaron Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It would be nice to get a boots-on-ground report. Because I dropped by there last night at 8pm and couldn't even make it to the .6 intersection due to stretches of standing water along the trail. I abandoned and did an urban MTB ride after that, but I'd love to hear its better (good?) now. Thanks, -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) I'm betting conditions are good (enough). The Oskar Blues ride is on at WC tonight and I'm planning to join in.

Barry Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 On the way over to the OB ride we went through WC. The start trail was a mess and we didn't even try .6. We took pavement over to Log and rode Inner Log. It was 98% dry and 2% standing puddles. So I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I rode it on Wednesday right after the very light rain. point-6 was the only section that was iffy. I say iffy because the worst parts were the previously formed ruts. Other than that, there was plenty of firm/dry to tacky ground without going outside the trail. Those ruts had been perfect to try to flatten out Tuesday night, but were too soft to flatten out by Wednesday at noon. I went in because I saw two guys come out with clean tires, and I asked them how the trail was. The worst mud was on the paved path! By the time I was finishing, the sun was coming out, and it was drying fast. Some sections in the log loops were damp, but not soft. It's pretty weird. Not sure if there's just rock under there. it was slick but nothing sticking to tires, and no ruts forming. I don't know if any more rain fell on Wednesday night or this morning.

That's one of the spots that I suspect may have a bunch of stone under it, or very firm ground. There were puddles, but no mud if that makes sense.

CBaron Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I live 50% closer to WC than Teamsloan and the dirt in my backyard is very soft (I wouldn't let the dogs out back this morning). That said, my yard has not been proven to be the litmus test for trail conditions, YMMV. -CJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsloan Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm sick of missing ridable conditions. I haven't ridden on dirt in a month. I'm showing up this evening. If it's too muddy, I live close enough that it won't be too much wasted time to have checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
