Go get some. Conditions were pretty good. Yellow main vein was crappy. And we didn't hit blue at all.

Did blue, white, black, orange, red, and back up blue a few hours ago. The only part I would skip is the trail behind the ball fields.
There’s an issue with Old Tullo connector in that the stream has recently decided to run along the trail for a substantial length. It will either need to be coaxed back or more likely the trail should be diverted.
On the red side, the Logan fire road took some real damage from last week’s rainfall. It was already pretty badly beaten by Ida, but it is noticeably worse now. I haven’t tried descending it, but it makes for a nice challenge climbing.

Rode everything except yellow today. Blue was worst, but not horrible. Ok, semi-horrible.
Found your iPad, @Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST or @Carson. Let me know who it belongs to and I will return when I see you next.

Does it also have a motor to help me keep up?
How much rain up there last night?
I didn't get much.
My yard drains aren't draining. You should be good.
My guess is: better than expected, worse than we hope.
I would say go for it. I don't think it will be terrible*.
* it might be terrible.

It wasn’t great. Lost of ground water still seeping from the hills. Mostly splashes and not deep mud tho. The usual damp spots were wet.

Hit everything except the black loops today. Some standing water in the expected places but totally rideable as eastbloc reported. Stay away from back and lower blue. Still one big patch of mud on upper blue past the trail feature which is drying out but some what better than last week.
Also, down tree at top of yellow heading up hill from hawk watch on the short paved section. Where that hanging vine was. Big enough around you'll need to lift your bike over it.

It is the best I've seen it since last fall. Did everything and hardly saw mud. Any drier and it starts getting dusty in the corners. Windy, low humidity days this week transformed conditions versus last weekend.
Tree still down top of yellow. I see a desire path is forming to one side of it.
That soft part of red when you take it CCW from Newman is almost completely dry.
Here is that straight section of upper blue after the trail feature taking it CW. Was wet all winter and finally puddle-free this week. I did not do lower blue by the Middle Brook trail but guessing there could still be some water there. Anybody know?
Worse of upper blue. Night and day vs prior weeks. Was a muddy, icy bog all winter and early spring. Now, dried out enough to roll through without making ruts.
Black's bench cut trails looking pretty as ever this Spring morning.
Come and get it.
