Hartshorne/Huber Conditions

[RobW]

I went to Hartshorn for the first time in over 20 years this summer and found it extremely challenging. Perhaps the fact that im 20 years older or we picked the 2nd hottest day of the year to go.. But I want to go back, anyone down for a Saturday ride??

should be out there early, around 7am

Just finished a 22 mile ride of Hartshorne & Huber, great shape just a few mud holes that are quickly drying.

Hartshorne was in good shape today, all the recent rain tampered the trails. They were nice and tacky. Ride it before the rains come.

The more washed out these trails get, the more fun they are to ride IMO. Awesome ride today!!

Watch out if you're riding Rocky Point counterclockwise. After crossing over the bunker loop road, at the point where trail is heading downhill then curves quickly to the left heading slightly uphill where a logover used to be... there's a tree hanging at decapitation height right after the curve.

I’m still pissed about that logover that chainsaw dick cut out.

I was there in the afternoon. This place is handling the relentless rain really well.

I should have added that there are plenty of leaves covering the trail especially on Grand Tour. Bone Buster was the most heavily covered so I really couldn't tell whether the erosion was any better/worse than a few months ago. Couldn't help but think "Is not knowing better?". You pick a line and stick to it... no overthinking. Lol

@rmap01 which trail is bone buster?

Grand tour down to buttermilk?

It's not like hartshorne has 5000 different trails, or anything...

 

[RobW]

@rmap01 which trail is bone buster?

that really choppy cut up DH trail that leads to buttermilk

 

[rmap01]

It's the top section "in blue"

Ahhhh. Grand Tour heading up to the water tower. In all my years riding there (over 20) never heard it referred to that.

Strava lingo..... it's actually "Bone Buster Bing Bong".

Haha. Yep. Point and shoot. It's even more interesting in the late late afternoon.

I kinda like the fact that this trail is raw and lacking in maintenance. I hope they never dumb it down..

Yeah, I'd hate to ride Kingdom like flow trails, those neglected, eroded, washed out fall line trails are awesome.
