The conditions suck, the place is soaked. Give it time to dry out, which is probably going to be a bit as rain is predicted for the next few days.

Out of curiosity I drove to the canal and Jack's lots today around 2pm just to see if any clowns were out there - only saw three pickup trucks in the Jack's lot - assume they were hunters
I will be out on Monday the 28th from around 10-1. Working between s Middlebush and 27. Lend a hand if you are free. Post up if you are coming I will be on foot and I will bring tools based on response. I know this is short notice, but I am betting a few of you are off work. PM me about parking.

Did some checking- it is pretty darn wet. The field is a mess (not a surprise) and I skirted around the farm/shed building to the beginning of the single track and there were 2 massive puddles. Thinking just hittin Nassau instead tomorrow. Just looking for a fun ride as I have been off the bike for a few weeks and wanted to spin before the snow comes in...
Yeah agree stay away ride else where- even with tje freeze there is a ton of standing water
I have no idea why people think this is fun to ride. You can't carry speed and you end up with 50 lbs of mud on your bike.

Went to Nassau yesterday. The conditions there were pretty good. The ground there seems to perk semi well. Was thinking about going again myself tomorrow. Just have to find the time.
if its single digits tonight, then i bet tomorrow morning will be fine. aything in the sun will turn greasy quickly though.
rode canal side blue->white this afternoon - figuring 48 hours of very cold + wind. Was not disappointed.
arrived around 1pm, with temps at 27F. the field had soft spots on the trail, nothing that would
throw mud, but the tire left a track - it was easy to stay on the frozen side (the sun is so low, the
edge of the trail casts a shadow!) when this wasn't possible, the grass was solid.
worst part was the transition into the woods!
in the woods, even the spots that looked damp were frozen. Some of the places that the sun
had gotten to, because of clearing and south facing had softened. nothing seemed horrible.
as @jShort mentioned - i bet it was rock solid, probably up to 11:00 or better.
go get some tomorrow morning!
