How were the conditions overall?

Thinking about trying this morning.

Still 80% dry with enough puddles to get you dirty. A couple of sections were very wet. I did red, white & blue.
White is fine. Blue wet at the top & bottom. I already forgot where the wet spots were on red, but I'm sure there were a few. I heard the other side of Chimney Rock Rd was much drier yesterday.

Good God is that a steel fork?

Whiskey carbon. Plush AF
I just keep the arms all loosey goosey and my brain hardly rattles...much.
Seriously, it's not bad. I'm starting to prefer it over a squishy fork. I think...definite maybe...

Rode all of red and a bit of blue and was shocked at how good the conditions were. Turned around when I got to the top of blue because, well, river.

Lower interior red was probably the worst, would avoid it.

The red line on the map, that hanger that's been there for 1-2 years finally dropped. Thankfully brittle and broke in the right spots so even tho no tools was able to clear it.

Someone got to the tree on lower red as well, no obstructions on my entire route.

Can anyone share input on how tomorrow should be?

Everyone I talk to says 80% great, 20% horrible.

I was there on Tuesday and this was accurate. Hopefully it should be better tomorrow.

I rode this afternoon. Did a typical Fun Monday loop…

I’d say 95% fantastic, with a few puddles that weren’t to bad, and a few mud holes that were a disaster, but not enough to not ride. Worst, as expected was Blue.

Tree down just past the gate at Gilbride Lot

I took care of the above tree on black. There was a couple reported on upper blue that I’m not sure if they were cleared yet. If anyone gets up that way, please chime in with an update. Or any other issues.
Thanks

Rode what i think was most of CR yesterday and everything except blue was dry as a bone. Blue is mostly dry but there are a number of wet stretches with standing soft ground.

Also, where is the new, reworked section we rode on the group ride back in Oct? i think i missed that this time.

my guess is you're referring to the re-routes on white as you did miss that section:
