Allaire it is! Thank youBlue has lots of puddles. I'd say conditions are 2.5 out of 4.

I just got back full dragon run from Canal to 27 and back. I think I saw like 7 total puddles but nothing crazy that I couldn't swerve around. Its pretty good out there!Allaire it is! Thank you

All good, no offense taken. You are only reiterating what the signs posted up are saying.. I should've been more clear and mentioned that the puddles did not take up the full width of the existing trail, so I was able go swerve around them within the confines of the trail. In addition, if the mud puddle does cover the entire width of the trail, I usually pick up the bike, jump or walk over the puddle. Today was pretty good. I went from Canal again to 27 and back and encountered only 1 mud small mud puddle on the orange trail, Canal side. I also noticed that the Rt 27 side dirt was beginning to get dusty but overall dirt conditions were perfect and somewhat sticky👌.Non-inflammatorily: go slow through the middle of the puddle (no-wake, for the boaters). Going around blows out the trail, and railing it makes it harder to fix when it dries out.
Nice. Pat and JKlett gon be bummed ya beat em there! Thanks!Spent some time at the concrete bridge last night. Cleared out all the twigs and sticks and stirred up the settlement to get it downstream. I learned that my waders aren't as water tight as they used to be. The beaver's got some work to do. Water level went down a foot plus.
Exit side (far and right in photos) needs some work. I watched most everyone (not all) not make it through the now dry rock garden. One guy did a full 90* endo, but saved it!

It’s not - but you’d be surprised on how many couldn’t make it. Towards SMR seemed to be the more successful direction.BTW, is that "rock garden" at the concrete bridge really that hard? I'm asking honestly, maybe I'm just jaded from the other parks but I thought it rode smoother today than it's ever been.
This! The ditch witch would work well too. My shovel wasn’t cutting it.we are bringing in an excavator to remove all the upstream sand!
Back on topic - took a spin. Conditions are what I expected even after the thunderstorms last night; handful of puddles here and there but otherwise great.
No problem! The first one across the bridge was saying that they forgot their pruners. Raising them right!Thank you so much for the brush back work you did on Friday! My kids were the ones crossing the long bridge as you were trimming. I need to add a set of pruners to my Camelbak. My kids love trail maintenance.
I've been ridden over it in years past with no problem but this season i've walked it all but once. The one time i attempted it this season i ended up having to put a foot down and walk it lol. It's the combination of the angle (valley), the random shapes of concrete chunks, limited line options and narrowness, water/wetness/mud, and risk of falling onto concrete/water that make me go nope.BTW, is that "rock garden" at the concrete bridge really that hard?
