Just curious if anyone knows if the tow path near six mile is rideable, I haven't been on a bike in a WHILE and just want to start getting my legs back.
Rode from Jaques Lane parking lot (white) to the 27 lot. From 27 to Orange is unrideable w/out studs. Orange - Red to middlebush is packed perfectly for fatbikes, skinny tires will totally f this up.
Middlebush to Jaques lane starts out ok but gets progressively worse as you get near the field. The last mile to the parking lot keeps you on your toes... Or you'll end up on your a$$.
Ah, those were your tracks I was following today, thanks!I rode white to blue back to Jaques lane parking lot
White has a lot of very low branches covered with snow. made for some tough going.
Blue wasn't to bad, A lot of it was untouched until I got past the fields. Then the hikers and skiers were really starting to make it worse
The snow was deep enough that my boots were skimming the top layer as I pedaled
+1 I came home with twigs stuck in my helmet.low branches suck, they made my ride miserable today
Ah, those were your tracks I was following today, thanks!
Made for some very odd tracks.
I noticed what looked like fat-bike tracks on the frozen canal the other day. So who was it? ;-)
I rode every inch of it over last Saturday & Sunday (while we still had a decent snow base). No way it's ALL clear of snow, but several patches will no doubt be.
For the new folks;
This park should not be ridden now!
The ground is totally saturated and will be for a while. Clay soil parks like six mile do not drain well, as a result are VERY vulnerable to damage if ridden before they dry out.
Please give the park some time to recover before hitting it.
It'll save the trail, save your drivetrain and possible save yourself from a nasty slip and crash injury.
Thx,
Dan
Damn... just when it was starting to look like it might dry out...
