What time ya’ll go? I hot lapped canal side 1-2. Hero dirt except for a few mid pits at usual spots
Good stuff. Not many days this good left.
Was there this morning.
Started at Canal lot at 8:50am. Few soft spots, only large puddle was this one

On Orange.... where all the branches are laid perpendicular across the trail.

Not sure i understand what you mean about orange and the branches, would you mind elaborating? Are they blocking the trail or just small ones?

I know the puddle he's talking about. It's filled with water and there a bunch of brands laid across the puddle to ride over on the right side of the puddle (coming from 27). I'd say it's about 1/3 of the way through the Orange trail. They are not blocking the trail.
There’s one low spot on what I think was still Orange, that always has a bunch of branches across the ground, because it’s a never ending wet spot. I can’t upload photos now.

Yeah. Not blocking the trail, meant to be there because persistent mud.

What woods in Edison do you ride?
It’s been a rough summer for the park. Basically 5+ years of use packed into one summer.
The coming freeze/thaw season is going to be brutal on the park as most of these new riders have never experienced this phenomenon before.
here is a good explanation that is worth the read :

With the recent heavy, wet snowfall our region has gotten over the last week (Thanks Diego!) our trails have really taken a beating. Be part of the solution

I kept telling the NICA kids, there this nice set of rollers coming up and when we would get they, it was all but flat.It’s been a rough summer for the park. Basically 5+ years of use packed into one summer.

I wonder if the extra weight of e bikes is contributing to this 🤔
I jest

Can't imagine how many chumps were there today!
I’m not experienced by any means but six mile is near and dear to my heart it’s a three min drive from my home. We started mtb recently and this past summer it has been wild I really appreciate the experienced riders and how polite they are offering to help us and all the patience. I know to get the hell out of the way and avoid when muddy. Today there were dogs being dragged on mountain bikes, e bikes, parking where it is not allowed, garbage in the park, people without helmets. I truly love the sport it has done so much for me and I don’t want 6mr ruined esp in these upcoming months when people don’t know the freeze/thaw issues. Do you think it will calm down?
