Drove by the hospital rd lot at @ 9:30 ...lot was almost packed ...so I dont know ...judging by by the standing water I saw all around in the area I would guess it was too wet ....but it does drain quicky there .

The park is generally fine. But every trail has 2-4 spots that are issues and getting worse with every rain storm and need to be fixed before the park freezes. Other than a handful of people (at most) that are putting in some shovel time, there is no maintenance going on. If you have some time, bring a shovel and start putting some time in. Don't wait for JORBA to get it done for you.

Overhead? Not so good. On the trail? Leafy (especially after today).

Please don’t ride Allaire tomorrow morning. Let it breathe. I spent 4 hours walking the trails fixing as much of the drainage issues as I could. But I left feeling like I got nothing done. Standing water everywhere.
There might be some parts of trails that are ok. But from what I saw, its going to be hard putting together continuous trails without making all the bad spots worse.
A year of no organized trail maintenance has the park a mess. If you really want to be in the park. Walk around with a shovel and start cleaning out drainage pits.

No need for the dig. He had everyone's best interest at heart. Fortunately and unfortunately everyone rides Allaire no matter what the conditions are. He was only looking out for the best interest of the park. Those of us who put in the hours there understand the damage done even though you may not see it or realize it. Not everyone rides through the puddles, they ride around them which just makes the trail wider and it's impossible to to make a them smaller again. The Allaire park has seen quadruple the amount of riders this year and its taken its toll on many trails. Luckily folks like @choop put in time to help. Glad you enjoyed and had fun and come back again, real soon now.. no joke. Ride on.

Great day to ride today. 66°, low humidity and no wind. Parking lot was actually a little more crowded than I expect for late morning on a Thursday, but still way better than a weekend. Trails had a lot of leaves and pine needles on them, as to be expected, and just a few damp spots from last weeks rain.

Mob scene - bring a bell - pristine conditions
I'm sure it's packed already, but is it rideable?
