Thanks so much for taking care of this! I have been super busy with work so I haven't been able to get out at all to do any sort to clean up. Hoping to get a few days on the calendar to get a group out. @WickedSistahEast lets make it happen 🙂
Lewis Morris Conditions
- Thread starter mcim29
- Start date
Pretty good conditions, soft in spots and the muddy spots are getting bigger. Moved the deadfall I could last night but if you see something that you can move help us out and move it. If you see a larger limb that needs a saw let me know and we can let the park know.
@WickedSistahEast and 5 other volunteers got out today and worked on the orange reroute. We are calling it done for now, but some fine tuning after it’s ridden a bunch. Look for old orange to be closed in the next few weeks by the park.

Mountain Man Biathlon is this Sunday October 29th at 11AM. Live Band is Sluggo! Beer, Great Weather. www.mountainman.org
There is the start of a new go around like 10-15 yards before it on the left 🙂
Officially fall…Trails are covered in brown pow. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts.
Lewmo has had some really bad press in the past...Things are changing and we have an awesome park superintendent. Switchback reroute in progress.

I'd bet a sixer he wasn't wearing a beer jersey 😉
Leaves are starting to get burned in on the heavy use trails. Please note that old orange is going to be closed soon.
We also have a TM day next Sunday the 19th at 9am. Lots of rough cut work this week to get rid of the terrible switchbacks by the log pile. Pave Sports donated a bike cleaning kit that ill pull a name on Dec 20th, you're entered by showing up.

I saw that parts of green downstream from orange were blown, which makes sense given the heavy bench cut. Rest of the place is riding really well just from trail use, as you said.
Two part post:
The old orange trail is officially closed. Nets are up, be aware if you are riding in low light. Attached a map for those not familiar. Yellow highlight with red markers are closed.
Parts of the Yellow Switchback reroute are now rideable. They are NOT completed but very passable and I removed everything that I thought could grab your derailleur. Some spots are soft, but please go ride it and burn it in. Provide feedback, recommend changes, now is the chance to make it what you want. 3 spots to enter/exit marked A, B, & C. A to C is the attached Strava map. There are 2 Pink and 1 Orange flag at the A entrance.

Thanks for the update! The old orange trail is still on Trailforks, marked as all clear. Should likely be removed or marked as permanently closed.
Rode the B to C switchback reroute last time I was there. It was great.
I need to get over there...

Yes, and the Yellow switchback reroutes are there 🙂
