Hartshorne/Huber Conditions

[Daniel Diament]

Thank you very much. I called park rangers to go check it out for me. Hopefully they call back with good news..Sucks after a 1 hour drive to find that out

I’m at the lot currently, where did you leave them? I saw the ranger leaving the lot just as I was hopping off grand tour

What time are you planning on riding? I work 5 minutes from there so I can swing by in the morning around 7am or so.

7 am is to early. I can do 09-09:30 ( I work 3-11 pm)

I start work around 7 or 7:30 so I can swing through the lot before that to check for the wheels if Bernard H doesn't update us between now and then. I'll post up if I find/grab them.

The ranger got them. Thank you all very much. Much appreciated. I was starting to look for upgrading to carbon wheels lol.

Conditions at Hart were good this morning. A few soft spots here and there, but surprisingly dry, given the 2+ inches of rain the other day.

The trails held up well today after over night shower, we got .12" rain.
They are calling for steady rains coming in tonight and tomorrow, which doesn't look good.

Can anyone provide an update?

Today I hiked the 8 Miles i normally bike and it seemed fairly good. Slick and muddy in 5 or 6 spots but decent elsewhere. I’d give it a 6 out of 10 overall for riding. Probably better than most other places. Only saw 5 or 6 riders during my 2 hour hike. Hope this helps a bit. Too late probably.

Rode most of huber today and a little of hartshorne. Agree Trails were basically fine. Perhaps stay off tomorrow with rain tonight but should be fine Monday

Went to Hartshorne with the intention of riding today but based on the condition of the fire road/Cuestra Ridge trail I decided otherwise. Even though Cuestra Ridge is basically a road and usually quite gravely/sandy it was pretty slick and muddy. I saw some other bikes emerging from the singletrack quite muddy. Hopefully the remaining snow will melt and drain off today and things will be good tomorrow.

I wouldn’t bet on it. Not good drying conditions today......and it wasn’t even very nice before the Saturday night precip. I’d give a few dry days.

I did a road ride and climbed “climb to paved path”and made it up on 25mm road tires. I’d imagine after last night’s rain it may now need a couple days to sry out.

Anyone have an update?

Anyone have an update?

I haven't been there in 2 days but I would imagine its awesome right now. I am bummed I won't be able to get there to take advantage of this weather.

Better go now, there is 5 days rain in the forecast.

Anyone scope out Hartshorne today?

Just got a firsthand report from a trusted source. Still some areas with significant mud (Claypit connector, Rocky Point, etc.)

I hit up Hartshorne after work today. I skipped the Rocky Point trail so thanks for the heads up on that. Laurel Ridge and Grand Tour are very rideable. There are a few soft spots but to be honest I think it is mostly accumulated leaf litter that has been ground up by tires and feet just holding the water. I am not sure how much the trail surface underneath has been affected. The sandy sections are straight up dry.

I was there from around 3-4:30. Maybe I saw you there?
