Chimney Rock Conditions

[qclabrat]

Hoping to get a ride in tomorrow morning. Anyone possibly doing a recon today?

For what it's worth, my backyard is firm and dry. I'd give it a yes. Might even do a short ride at 7am if I can get some work done early tonight. When you planning to get out?

Probably around 8 or so.

Great conditions this morning on the west side of the park. Lower blue also good to go. Didn't get to orange or yellow

Looks like High Tech and Clapp were there too

I saw Clapper. Rode at 9:30 and the backside of the park is great too. Getting hot already though.

Blues and reds were in great shape last night, trending towards very dry. Hopefully this morning's rain will run off and/or dry out for tomorrow.

I'm going to try and shoot for Sunday.

Got a report from a friend this morning that most of the trails are dry. Usual mud spots on blue. Not too sure about lower blue though. Should be good today, but probably better tomorrow!

Why doesn't your friend ride with us? Does your friend own a blue Trek Fuel?

LoL! Nah, he owns a yellow Yeti. Hm, not too sure why he hasn't joined us. Could be because he's got three kids and he usually rides very early in the morning.

Trails were great today. Lower Blue was surprisingly dryer than upper parts of Blue, but all good. All of Red was dry, as was all of Yellow and Orange, and White - except the standing water before/after all the log-overs tho all rideable.

Did it rain down there? Rideable this morning?

 

[Gnarles]

Just hiked lower blue and it was bone dry. That means the whole park is probably great riding. Get out there before the rain!!!

Yeah, too dry the rain may put some tacky to the trails

Dammit that a real bad news...

Thinking tomorroe afternoon or this weekend.

How was looking?

 

[k-drive]

Checked out the new repair station yesterday and it wasn't too bad except for the normal places. I stayed off white and blue, but red was pretty dry.

I also checked out the new repair station this morning and it's great that we have this resource available. I was all psyched about breaking it in when I noticed that my GPS mount was cocked at a weird angle, Unfortunately, the Park Tools set of hex wrenches only go down to 3mm, and I needed a 2.5mm to level the mount (the Topeak set I carry with me bailed me out, but I just wanted to use the new stuff!). Also, a minor point, but I noticed that the Torx-25 tool was already rusting -- I guess you could say that including a tool that will rust is probably an oversight. All of the tools are tethered to the station with a cable, which we can only hope won't be defeated by some jerk with wire cutters.

The trails were pretty much as @k-drive described...
