Phineas and Ferb can build a trail network on Mars where it never rains.

I know what we're going to do today!

 

[RobW]

if anyone wants to still meet up and ride up the service road in the back and link into the henry hudson trail then post up here or PM me... plenty of dirt roads to link as well

Depends on which 6 miles you are looking to ride.

The canal was flooded over in a few spots on my way to 6-mile this morning. First time I've seen it overpower the spill spots.

Come north and road ride, then food and beer.

I don't actually ride bikes. I'm only in it for the eating and drinking.

Talked to a buddy who went today, the trails we're fine. Hartshorn drains very well, we canceled for nothing...

I think different people have different ideas of what defines "fine"

I think sometimes we get too caught up in the "trail shaming"and only look to ride trails in ideal conditions. If we always waited for perfect trail conditions non of us would ever ride. Hartshorn drains very well, your not gonna do any trail damage there trust me..

I heard the opposite from a buddy who went there this morning, so I rode Allaire instead.

See now I find some of the low lying sections of Aillaire are way worse after rain than the lowest one or 2 sections of Hartshorn. I find that the higher elevation you see in Hartshorn drains all the water down hill much better obviously..

Different people have different ideas of “damage” also. @Dajerseyrat i rode through there on my cross bike with my buddy, we ran into a few dudes at the top who’s bikes were covered in mud. Draining well (I agree it does) but that still doesn’t mean ride right after heavy rain.

Low areas of allaire are a flood plain.. you’re barking up the wrong tree here
