Thank you gents. Wanted to make sure conditions were in fact real/up to date so I don't do any damage!

I was there today. Started on 27. Red - Orange - Red to Canal, red to white, white to red, red to red to 27. 2 places I had to walk the bike. Everywhere else was perfect. Very tacky and fast dirt. Not as rutted out as I was expecting it to be. THe turns in orange were smoothed over, no deep ruts were seen that would impede turning.

It was fairly dry yesterday. The rain today didn't seem like much. I'm sure by tomorrow morning it will be ok. Not muddy but may a little bit more tackier.
I'm surprised Six Mile is in better shape than Chimney Rock.

Rode yesterday. For the most part the trails were in excellent condition... very tacky and fast. Two areas on Red that have some puddling and one area by the power lines that's very soft. Loved what you guys did with the re-route on Blue!

Solid 4.0. No mud at all and if anything it is starting to dust in the fields already. Jay did a great job on the new blue extension, I was totally caught off guard by that roller. Did a nice welcome back to dirt header on a loose log pile after a ridiculously long wait to cross s. middlebush (that place really needs a bridge for us rush hour riders). Lots of riders and hikers out there.

Where's the car at? It was replaced by a shit ton of new trees.

Yeah that was weird - taking red from white towards canal road, at the next to the last smaller roller all these flags are around the trail and I thought more new trail was being mapped out. But instead there's a clearing going down to the creek - looks like drainage of some sort.
PS with the new trail extension on blue I created a new strava full loop segment from canal road - blue, red, orange, red to 27 lot, back to orange, red, white, red to canal road. Since only three people have ridden it so far - I'm number 3 - yay me. Alex K is KOM at the moment

Was nice to get back into six mile tonight. Nice and dry minus a few small spots. New blue section was awesome was caught off guard by the dippy doo. Once it gets packed in it will be primo. Few other spots got some work too. Mucho props to jay and the mid week TM crew.

Get one of these and lend a hand with face slappers. A little work this time of year makes a huge difference in a few weeks.
These little saws can do a lot and they will fit in a camelbak for sure.

how do you guys do the full loop? aren't the trails essentially end to end

It's not a loop in the exact sense of the word (I'm famous for doing linear loops) - there is a section from s. middlebush to 27 where you basically do the same route out and back, but this is the longest "loop" you can do there:
