Rode the whole park yesterday. beautiful day and excellent winter conditions with the usual soft spots. Blue north included.
Freeze thaw conditions are in effect so please ride frozen to avoid rutting.
I cleared a double tree down on Blue North near the culvert crossing - across from the housing development.
It was a poison ivy monster Aggghhhh!
Now for the disturbing bit… On blue between the double ponds and the power lines.
Somebody took the time an effort to block the existing trail in 6 places with LARGE logs.
This was intentional blocking not jumps or ride over obstacles.
I cleared them all and dragged the logs away from the trail enough that they will have to make an effort to put them back.
Hopefully this doesn’t happen again too soon.
Anyway….
HAPPY NEW Year!!!
Yes, it's a park approved trail. There have been problems over there for years...Are these normal trails that these people are closing ? And why? I hate when people do this stuff. @michael.su get Fox on this ASAP
I think the bridge troll has left town.....the "missing" bridge has been unmolested for some time now. Hopefully the troll is not related to the current trail molesting perp!Maybe the "missing bridge" troll is back?!?!
I think Mike is on ski's someplace today.. FB told meWas there at lunch today and someone undid one of the cut thru I covered up next the west picnic twisty section, I moved a fair amount of crap I put there.
Anyways, In Van Nest, Tennis Area / Red much of the trail tread has little snow on it and yet even though the tread is solid, has a thin layer of slop / mud on top. So not trail ruining this afternoon but be prepared to be sprayed with mud. That wont be an issue with temps not above freezing for the next few days.
AND, I made first bike tracks on each of the trails I hit with zero signs of the local fat tires of @Big Al @michael.su and @TAS, what up with that!(maybe you just hit the other side?

I'll be there tomorrow after lunch (1 ish). I'm hoping we get a good amount of snow tomorrow so I can really validate this fat bike. Either way, I'll still have fun...anybody else going to be there tomorrow?
there right now, have ridden most all of the park. great as its frozen... may get a little sloppy when it warms. tennis courts a little dicey with shallow frozen over puddles.
