Any update on condition would be appreciated..
For a 5:30 ride today
Last 2 times I rode the new "sidewinder" rail I hesitated and wimped out on that rock drop at the last minute. Something about the fact that I can't see the landing makes me ride like a big baby. It's bumming me out.
I hit it last time finally. You definitely need all you're weight back. Not being able to see the landing is sketchy, but once you do it, it's pretty easy

I did it the first time I hit that trail, kind of went sketchy, now I'm just a sissy. I rode it tonight, and still wimped out....a few times I'm ashamed of myself at this point. Oh well.
However, the dirt out there is "all star" right now. Too bad my legs felt like wt noodles. Still, it's really lots of fun right now. To be fair I only rode Springside so I don't know what the other side is like. I saw "flatlands" is roped off, so must still have some moisture, but on Springside, there;s no moisture and my new minions felt like they were velcroed to the trail.
Any chance Nassau is good tomorrow?
What are the general conditions like?Two notes:
1. there is a tree near the top of Rocky Trail (starting from the upper lot) needs a saw (hand saw should do it)
2. I see the tape across Flatlands by the lower lot but the tape at the Bear Creek end seems to be gone. There is tape between two trees that is not blocking of the trail. Didn't want to move the tape but I thought Flatlands was closed.
I am no trail expert but given that I had to walk around some on Tuesday (when most of the trail was dry) and it rained last night, I'd say WET. I'm skipping Nassau today.What are the general conditions like?
Just wondering - there are some trails over by the mulch pile/Columbia Trail parking lot - newer this past winter. I stayed off them during the spring thaw but returned this week to find them overgrown/not maintained. Any idea on what will become/these will get some TLC? (did I just volunteer myself??). @jShort @Jeffreywoliver
