6 Mile Run Conditions

[christryon]

Any idea of conditions after the rain? Possibly wanted to ride the fatbike down the canal and do a loop tomorrow during the day. Rode the canal trail by Duke Island Park and it wasn't really muddy at all, just wet since its been so dry. Not sure if I should head to 6M or Chimney Rock.

I hiked a bunch of red on the 27 side today. There weren't any puddles, just a few soft spots. Trails were drying nicely during the day today. I think you'll be good to ride tomorrow.

Conditions were awesome today!

Likely going to be bunch of mud tomorrow given the freeze thaw, right?

Conditions this afternoon with temps in the low 20's. Some soft dirt in the sun but mostly good and frozen.

Snow on the trails today. Great riding.

I stopped at Jaques to check the conditions this afternoon :

I parked at Canal and rode the towpath instead. Blue looked just as bad :

 

[snashters]

Trail conditions on canal side were very good this morning, still snow covered and with temperatures below freezing. 27 side was not so good with more frost heave, especially orange which was not worth riding.

This was just sent to me. I don’t know the rider. Don’t be this guy during freeze/

thaw.

This was just sent to me. I don’t know the rider. Don’t be this guy during freeze/View attachment 255248thaw.

More concerning was the 26 “kudos” 😥

 

[snashters]

Tried to hike the white trail from Jaques this afternoon, didn't get very far.

Rode blue end to end today...it's either mud or ice covered by a thin layer of snow. Not suitable for riding yet. Very tricky conditions.

Stay away from Six. 27 - Orange/Red split is F’ing DISASTER.

And yes, there IS a sign .

80% of the trail is like this….🤬

Ffs
Can’t we close the trail with chain and a huge sign that says “Muddy Conditions/ No Biking”
“Biking in Wet & Muddy Conditions Destroys Our Trails”

 

[christryon]

Rode the whole park tonight. No issues. Let's ride.

It was great today before the rain. Hopefully it dries out quickly.

Conditions were surprisingly dry and hero dirt on Saturday. You can see the years of work implementing good drainage as there were pools of water laying alongside the trail in nicks and culvert basins rather than on trail. Clay was fast and tacky and ready to rip! Couple spots with running water across trail as the higher elevations drain off the prior night's rain and dampness in the deep trough trails of blue in the open field sector which should dry up in another day.
