Chimney Rock Conditions

[Tonggi]

wrong thread. For what it's worth, I'm skeptical it'll be ridable. let us know.

Im assuming I got my pages mixed up on my phone and posted on the maps page. Lmao. I wanted to be sure I meant the yellow so I looked at the map. I think it'll be a bust unless it freezes really good and it's just gonna get warmer.

I was in the area with my dog, very muddy anywhere dirt was present. Really ugly thaw going on. I'd give RV a try instead

thanks for heads up. Didn't pack bike today at work. Figured it would be bad. I will wait for the weekend to go elsewhere.

Is CR HIKE-Able ?

Kids are off all week and want to do some exploring, figured we could hike around over there if it isn't under water.

What say you?

 

[Gnarles]

was out yesterday with the dogs, its definitely hike-able. The spots that are wet, are WET but you should be alright.

Stick to yellow and orange and you'll be fine. They're best for hiking anyhow.

Orange and yellow rideable or too soft? Was thinking of going Tuesday night. Give it another 2 full days of nice weather to possibly dry anything up.

I haven't been over to check it out but youll be fine with yellow for sure. It holds up best even if it's a bit wet. Orange could be more of a issue but I would imagine it will be fine by Tuesday. Unless someone else chimes in with an update go check it out and let us know.

A friend posted it is 3/5. "Usual wet spots are muddy, but overall good, Ride lower orange near damn, very dry"

Wanted to add that this was from facebook posts where I asked them.

Did the ballfield loop Monday, but went back to the car. Too muddy. Should be great again by Thursday.

Couple trees down on Orange and two on Yellow, when I rode it on 2/4/17. Dunno if they are still there.

I avoid the ballfield loop, that place is always wet even during the summer after any rain.
The grass leading to the stairs if muddy is an indicator for me. I go straight through to Yellow/Orange from there

 

[qclabrat]

so riding around from the Hawk Watch lot on yellow/orange is good?

Everyone has there own take on conditions, all I'll say is if you go to CR, be prepared to get muddy as well as doing some slip and sliding.

My bike gained about 5-10#'s in mud the other day.

I'll just post this as an educational reference -

Couldn't agree more... CR doesn't have a good reputation for being dry.

Conditions were ok last night. did red and the typical spot was muddy but rest was fine. My bike hardly had any mud on it at all. relax (kidding of course)

 

[qclabrat]

enough of red looked messy to me so I went home instead today at 5pm.
when my tires look like this after 90seconds of riding, I'll give the trails a break. Different strokes for different folks i guess

CR is fine. There are some isolated wet spots that could use some nics cleaned out but otherwise ok.

Woody used to clean nics and keep water flowing off the trails.
It's really simple to do, the goal is to get standing water flowing off the trails. I cleaned a bunch of nics on red.
1. locate standing water.
2. look for outlet to release standing water.
3. use stick or any implement to remove leaves and debris from outlet and let gravity do its job.

So I can roll it tomorrow and not be a bad person. Nice.

so would you rate it a 3? I feel so unqualified to rate trails...
I'll need to give that nicking a try tomorrow
