Nope ......I tried on Saturday...lower red trail ...it was a mess !!!!!!too many "holes " in the snow from hikers/dog walkers ,trails is not flat at all ...couldn't get any type of momentum going at all .....turned around and called it a day after about a mile as it wasn't worth the trouble

Ran into the hiker holes at another place too. Everytime i got going my front tire would drop into a hole. Can't they wait the spring lol.

Monday I snowshoed in from Cushetunk to the pay phone, and it is packed enough for fat bikes.
You took a detour to CR on the way?
He made a long distance call I think. Hello, operator? KL5-KIRT, please!

Yah, I mixed up my routes.
Unrideable except for a short link on yellow. There is a path across the ballfield. Not wide enough for cranks to clear.
Behind the ballfield loop was hike. Can ride to gilbride. Orange to guardrail not trampled. Didn't check the other side.

So did you stay and make it rideable for everyone?
i put a sign up to go to the tourne. the ballfield parking lot isn't really plowed!
What does not really plowed mean?
We will be out hiking tomorrow with like 18 people from the NICA team. Bunch of snowshoes so maybe there will be a slightly better pack.
But probably not.
4" of half-frozen slop over most of the lot
There were cars in there, kids sledding behind the basketball court.
We were there today. I live 4 miles away and don’t see myself even considering a bike there for a month. We took the snow shoes today and outer yellow coming down was still totally unbroken snow.
Some stuff is probably fat bikeable but it’s one of those “I did it to do it” kinda things. If you live close enough to bother you already know. Otherwise you likely live too far away to bother.
