Chimney Rock Conditions

[Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST]

Yellow and orange were completely rideable. Red was where I got the most covered in mud. Shoes and shins. I would go back tomorrow. Snowing at the hawk watch.

The new reroute on yellow rode awesome. @Kirt. Thanks

What's it looking like for tomorrow? Anything to avoid?

Avoid blue. Red, white and orange were OK this afternoon.

Our NICA team had practice there today.

Red, white, blue are all a mess. Far more muddy than expected, I am told.

I would avoid everything other than yellow & orange. Then Thursday we reset again.

Yeah idk I rode there Sunday in the confusing wind/snow squall/sun whatever that was: I guess the only thing I could say was excellent was the yellow (green now??) high tech section I don’t know the names of this stuff. That was great. The rest - orange, red, would go from awesome to mud and I felt uncomfortable being there.
That was Sunday so i have no idea now.
I didn’t do white or blue.

Wow and rain coming with higher temps, No thanks that’s bad

Rode with my sister this evening. Came down blue from old Tullo, crossed over and did all of red. Couple muddy sections but no dabs or regrets.

Paraphrasing ....lol

 

[eastbloc]

Not that it matters since it will rain all day tomorrow, but blue and red were pretty nice this afternoon.

The rain here yesterday was the worst I've seen since Ida. I foresee mayhem on the trails.

Yes, no doubt. The roads were still underwater this morning. The park is going to be an absolute nightmare this weekend.

Any updates? Trying to decide what bike to bring to work. I did take my road bike off the trainer already.

Wild guess, but I would suspect it's almost there but could user another day or 2. Things are drying up nicely but I still see the hillside draining water onto the road around our house, which tells me there still lots of water in the ground.

I imagine it would be great in some spots and terrible in others.

Great guess… Ballfield loop wasn’t bad, yellow was spotty - some parts were great, some still had standing water - the new parts on yellow were great. Orange wasn’t bad, a few of the common muddy spots, but overall not bad.
Didn’t get there early enough to ride red/white or blue.

Definitely rideable though.

Anyone know what happened down Miller Ln? My sister lives over there said there was some major police presence and a bunch of Hazmat suits.

 

[Cafe Dave]

Curious to know, too... might check out Yellow later this afternoon.

Could have been an ET sighting - check your closets!

 

[jredone]

No signs of ET or crop circles by Miller Ln but mannnn conditions sure were good today.

A bit wetter than expected on yellow but absolutely fantastic otherwise. Perfect weather tonight for the after work riders.

 

[CNJRider]

Did it all today. Soft and wet in the usual spots but mostly dry every where else. White was better than expected, nearly mud free. Back and lower blue are still a shitfest which is no surprise. Curiosity got the better of me but I should have known better. Come and get it.
