6 Mile Run Conditions

[rmap01]

What a bunch of dicks.

FTFY

Aren't the signs still up at the trailheads? While I realize not everyone may read them it's very unlikely that all 5 riders missed it.

I blame all the mtb content creators from the UK constantly showing off their mud rides and making people think it's OK. I don't think these guys knew better. They're doing what they see on Instagram and YouTube. If they did they wouldn't have posted their faces. Then again maybe I'm underestimating people's ignorance and stupidity.

When my buddy and I were riding over frozen ruts, he asked, “But I see all the riders on GMBN riding muddy trails and aren’t they’re fine?”

I may go get some solar powered blinking lights to put around them.

I think the "no entry boys" saw the signs.

This clown is from Queens! Why doesn't he go ruin his local trails????

The difference is that in the UK it is ok to ride “in the wet.” I don’t think it’s a problem in the Pacific Northwest, for the most part either.

I’m not down for blaming anyone other than the assclowns in the picture. They rode past the signs. They posted the pic. They knew better. They DGAF about the trails or other trail users. Period.

Agreed, in the UK and the Pacific Northwest if you don't ride wet, you ride outside 4 days a year. The trails there are built to handle it better and mud is a fact of life.

But here, even if you're clueless enough to not get the difference in climate or new enough to not know, you can still read the damn signs, unless you are the rear entry boys above.

Look for the trails to be closed till spring.

I had another long winded response about them not knowing any better due to social media, but now I see they're from NY so I can only hope they get one of those neck high fishing line treatments. Lol.

I went back to six mile last year for the first time in like 10 years. And to be honest, after riding there about 5 times, I realized I hated it. The trails are destroyed and crawling with these types of riders. The “ get out of my way, my bike is worth $100,000.00 and yours isn’t, so I can ride and do what ever I want” crowd....

I’m with you. The overuse and destruction of this park is unsettling for sure.

The lack of other similar parks leads so many here, even from hours away.

Honestly, it has been 2020. I rode 6 mile a ton in 2019. Went back in October of 2020 and it was destroyed. Super widened trails, rollers gone from rainy when wet, it was crazy.

The Rear Entry Boys need to be called out educated on how we roll ova hear. I’m sure @rick8675309 has Rachel’s number. She could teach them a few things #mudlyfe #stayinfuckinny #ruinyourowntrailsassholes

I was wrong in my post above. What a bunch of dicks.

I know what you mean. But, recently watched a video from GMBN where they went out of their way to preface with “don’t do this in the US”. I’m guessing they’ve gotten similar feedback from others...
Will link the vid if I find it.

Bummer. It was great in the snow

Too bad they are from out of town- those drive trains are gonna need some heavy duty servicing. At least it could have supported our local shops!

because he already did. his trails are TFU to even ride. he wants to share his love of trail destruction with us.

6mr is now closed for the season

look for a park police 👮🏾 presence on weekends

 

[Rockbottom]

Six mile should be closed for the entire freeze/thaw cycle. Sourlands should get more love in the winter months when conditions are dry. But not with the hikers. For the love of god, no more hikers please
