Agreed.Yeah, it's bad. I think the descent after climbing the new switchbacks on red is a lost cause.
Yes. Tourne drains quickly.Slight chance for rain for Sat. Can tourne handle little rain and be ok to ride?
Heard parts of the red trail is closed... Is this true?
No Beuno. When the grounds are rideable.. Do you ride at Tourne often?went for a walk around 130 and was disappointed to see so many bikes in the park during the warmest part of the day. Didn’t venture deep into the park but everything looked to be a complete mess. Even the gravel climb to the top was torn up pretty bad. I get that people wanna enjoy the warm weather but com’on man. With the rain that we could get the next few days it’d be wise to stay away for a bit.

Ha, I just noticed those photos above my post — the trails are dry at the moment, but it looks like rain/melted snow could dramatically change that.I went to The Tourne yesterday and it was below freezing initially. I thought it might be icy and was riding studded tires. There was a big (maybe 20’ long) strip of ice about 100 yards from where I parked, making me think that I’d made the right call on the tires. I didn’t hit a bit of ice for the remainder of the ride, though. As temps went slightly above freezing, the trails thawed a bit, but the softening was pretty much superficial. Depending on future precipitation, the park seems like it will be good for riding, particularly at those lower temps.
