I made other plans/I didn’t think this would possibly happen with this much rain… But maybe I’m wrong I’m wrong a lot
Check back here this evening for the status of tomorrow's ride.
Group Ride Clayton Park Saturday 1/27 9am
Never been to this park, I'm a hard maybe, how does this park do with wet weather? Yes, I'd like to know the same, for the same reasons. 😎

Was just there…. I skipped like 50% of the park. Too soft. I’d save the trip and go elsewhere if I were you.

There's pretty much nothing the TM crew can do for the run by the lake.... and its pretty much horrible all the time, and now almost impassable.
Not sure it'll help, but squeaky wheels get solutions. If we get enough visibility about the issue maybe the park system will consider options beyond what our crew can do with shovels and rakes. Here is a link to the feedback form.... i highly recommend saying how bad it is "hiking" through that section right now (and maybe some kudos for the work on the rest of the trails 😉)

First round of TM on that section that's always wet on the short connecting trail just before the bridge....
Also decided to do an inside nick on one of our turns that started holding water now that the tread is becoming compacted and not letting water through. This was an earlier re-route where we should have gone slightly wider to have the trail go straight through this low spot. Will monitor, and if it needs consistent attention it'll be a pretty easy adjustment.... For now it'll ride really great though 😁
Small but mighty crew! We'll be out there again next Wednesday, May 29, if anyone is looking to dig

Could be hero dirt. If not, and you create ruts you have the opportunity to make it right at the next trail maintenance session, Wednesday July 24th at 5:30 😁

Go have fun, and let us know if any areas need some work. I'm at the point where if we can't ride 24 hrs after rain, that's my next TM target 😉
Clayton doesn't really have have bad freeze/thaw issues. Most of the park drains well and is fairly sandy
