Can confirm. Conditions are great.

Was there this evening, primo. Leaves are variable but in most places only a thin layer. No problem hitting everything on this route. Almost no mud (tiny bit on white), blue was in great shape.

11/2/ Hit everything but blue, all mostly fine with a wet spot here and there. Tomorrow should obviously be better.

We hit some of blue including lower blue today. Totally fine on that side.

Excellent, took the morning off but wasn't sure where to ride. CR it will be

Dawn patrol today. The leaves are down but everything I rolled was good.

 

[CNJRider]

Bit damp and slick this am. My neck of BW was spared rain overnight but CR was hit with some sprinkles. Intended to ride more but called it quits after red and blue. Perfectly rideable but I was slipping and losing traction on the leaves.

Tree down on Orange coming up from Gilbride and staying right on the switchbacks.
It is the one we used to be able to go on either side, just before that second set of rock plate.

Someone blocked the entrance to the trail with a couple logs - cause why not.

Needs a chainsaw.

Tree down here. I couldn’t roll it out of the way but I’ll bet a few guys could move it. It’s Kindof rotten.

 

[Patrick]

i'll throw the saw in the car and try to get the two of them tomorrow.

It’s a pretty good size but like I said. Kindof rotten so not too heavy.
Many thanks sir.

Trees have been removed.
Wet and leafy. Slippery rocks.
Not the best choice this morning.

 

[caferacer]

The one on the Orange trail after switchbacks coming up from Gilbride is cleared.

Red and blue conditions were excellent today, understanding that the overly leafy areas are a bit traction challenged of course. But they weren't wet leaves, so all was good. Only 2 wettish spots I came across were on red and not leafy so not an issue.

Get at it today and tomorrow while the gettin' is good before more rain is supposed to come in tomorrow night folks.

2 trees down. One on green, one on blue. Will need chainsaws.

Might be a little easier to park on Tullo Rd. Should be less than 10 mins from there.

 

[Patrick]

These trees plus a bonus have been cleared.

Blue is muddy
High part of green is wet.

Probably not a good idea to ride today

 

[rjr44]

Blue dried out nicely, no issues w/ traction from moisture, just the leaves still in spots.

Red has quite a few damp spots, plus some standing puddles (which can mostly be ridden around), but nothing that impacted traction.

Tree down on red, X marks the spot. Too much for one idiot (me) w/ no tools.
