6 Mile Run Conditions

[Mathers]

It wasn’t too bad. Nice day to ride.

 

[Kangdoy]

Anyone planning on doing a recon later today? Or have an opinion on how conditions will be tomorrow afternoon?

I would think they would be good. I went Tuesday and there was only some muddy areas in the typical spots.

Same here. South Plainfield got a few minutes of downpours yesterday evening. Wondering if SixMile got it too.

It was really muddy yesterday around 10am, so I went to Allaire and that was also a little muddy in some spots. I'm going to 6mile later around 5pm to see if its rideable and will post.

Did a little diggin on the blue west of the steel bridge. Hoping to gather some troops for a digging party this sunday. I'll post up if I can swing it.

Canal side red and blue was not bad at all. Couple of puddles here and there but nothing you cant ride around. I think we need to fill these in with some dirt.

Which part of the trail is that?
The general practice for unavoidable puddles I believe is to ride gently through the middle. I used to also ride around thinking I was helping, but was told it actually does more damage by widening the puddle and trail. Great job turning around and riding elsewhere yesterday. It's easy to stay when you're already there.

The Jurassic tar pits - on blue before the steel bridge

Ah, good to know. I usually pick up the bike and walk over it or turn around because it usually gets worse further down. Those puddles are right before the steel bridge.

Blue down by the bridge was the worst spot. Wet spots in the corners and typical spots. Rest of the trails were 90%.

Thanks to who ever cut some of those slit trenches from the puddles to help them drain.

TM this sunday Sunday the 26th at 9am. Bring a shovel. Buckets and wheelbarrows are helpful. Park at the White House closest to the south Middlebush trail crossing.

You will get muddy. Dress appropriately.

Gloves, water and some food are a good idea.

Just took a quick run Canal side. It was great, trails are 97% dry.

I did the full dragon this afternoon. Out of the the 15.5 miles of trail there is maybe a collective total of 40 to 50 feet of puddles/soft spots. It's 99% awesome right now.
