wood is rock hard, and burns forever. although you'll kill your tools cutting it up.

Yes, that was likely me, unless I have a twin out there...

I my not be the most qualified guy to answer your question but I thought it was holding up great. I was grinning ear to ear riding the blue trail today. Really. Spectacular job!
It's pretty mellow as I need to make this and everything in the park for all abilities. It's tricky to make stuff so that it flows as a pump, still acts like a jump and keeps water from pooling .

With all the wind we're getting now, any chance trails will be rideable tomorrow morning?
prolly. i'll swing by tonight and check it out.
Looks alright. Probably some soft spots.
That’s pretty incredible. We got a shit load of rain late last night. ~3AM. Like...C R A Z Y rain. Maybe somerset didn’t get it like we did.
We got the same rain here. Don’t get it myself. It ain’t soaked though. I’m gonna do a canal loop tomorrow possibly stooped early and double check. I was on foot today.
Sometimes I think a dumping rain runs off more than soaks in. Plus the wind was insane. Add some sun and exposed trail was fine.
I’ll be up in 8 hours so I’ll get into the woods before anyone is up. I’ll post again if the covered trail is any different.
Prior to this, the soil was as dry as baking flour.. I'm betting it will be pretty good on Tues by the afternoon.
Update from the canal lot - I didn’t go in far (on my SS road bike). Blue is good until just before you enter the woods. Typical field drainage. So far two trees down within the first mile. Did my best to clear one - just didn’t have any tools on me. Otherwise two puddles but the rest is fine.
Not sure how to call it because my skinny tires weren’t sinking in where there is no standing water, but blue has that typical drainage issue.
Personally I would ride it and I would walk the puddles when not avoidable. Some might say wait because of draining. I’m sure the concrete bridge area is flooded.
