I was out this morning, after the third time down in the first mile I had enough. It's really icy, studs are probably a good idea.
yup...we rode from rte 27 starting around 7am...it was frozen solid most places with some "brown ice" here and there...the fat bike was definitely the way to go...studs would have helped, but in general it was pretty rideable
the blue trail was the worst...literally a skating rink!

also the concrete bridge was flooded pretty good...so we improvised and put a few downed logs across to make it a little more passable...

Looking at the weather, consider SixMiler unrideable for at least the rest of February. Seriously. Too warm, too wet.
If we can set it up for a weekend. Hopefully my waders are still water tight.i know what this means......who wants to go wading?
Bring your swimmies and you should be golden...What about Sunday?
Just got back from a ride, it's good to go!

This is my first spring in the area. Does Full Suck Mode (FSM) exist at 6 mile (aka the trees drying out the trails in the spring)?
The Wissahickon trees can dry out a trail in less than a day.

different type of dirt i presume, 6mr is mostly red clay doesn't filter down and gets hung up on top. Therefore trees can't really help, it just needs time to dry out with sun, wind and no rain.This is my first spring in the area.

Best bet is to check in this thread and ask the locals before you head out. It can go from mud to dust in no time. Be patient.This is my first spring in the area. Does Full Suck Mode (FSM) exist at 6 mile (aka the trees drying out the trails in the spring)?
