Lewis Morris Conditions

[Soundguy]

yeah... you looked scared worried focused.

Definitely focused.... on not getting yelled at. That's probably just my normal riding face at this point....

In great shape last night, minimal mud. Hit it.

Rode this evening and came across a section of the yellow trail closed between the Tempe Wick Rd parking lot and north to the yellow/red split that's where you take the right/red trail part of the H2H course. The picture below was taken at the TW lot and there's an identical one on the other end.

Otherwise conditions were good (skipped the singletrack left of the fire road as you make the climb from the pavilion)...a few smaller downed trees you can easily hop but still a large one down on Kurt Vonnegut that has a well developed ride-around.

Someone posted this on Facebook:

LewMo Update: the yellow/red trail descending from Tempe Wick lot is closed. The MCPC went out yesterday to survey the bridge damage and are working on a game plan to get it replaced or fixed. Apologies for the inconvenience, but obviously safety is the number one concern.

how are conditions for an afternoon ride today?

Headed out there in about an hour.

Been out of town for over a week and had no idea how much it has rained. Trails are pretty messy, but the high ground wasn’t bad. I did a couple laps of orange to the teal climb up to red, then back down and repeat... didn’t even bother with the back side down to Tempe wick... I’d imagine it’s a total shit show.

Rode this morning around 7 and it was hero dirt! Get get out there. The closed trail mentioned above is still closed.

Memorial Day ride: midday conditions were overall very rideable, with muddy spots here and there. Fun new log-over north of parking lot on Patriot's Path.

Pretty good conditions yesterday morning. Little soft in parts but nothing sloppy. Only a little standing water on fire roads.

LewMo marginally okay to ride today
Lower sections have some puddles but not terrible. I'd give it a 3 out of 5

I thought the rating scale was 1-4?

Muddy this morning in spots.

 

[stilluf]

Trails were in decent shape Sunday late morning, though still with mud in spots. With last night's rain, I'd give it a few days to dry out.

Not sure which trail exactly it was, but there is a small bridge that crosses a creek which has been washed away. There was caution tape laid out so be cautious when approaching.

Ahh yes, should of looked a few posts up. That is the one.

Yep - when I was there all of the tape was ripped down. And FYI, the creek is ridable, to the left coming from Tempe Wick lot.

Parts of trails are still soft - Take it easy.

The bridge is done
