Conditions Update +Update on Stupid People Alert!!
Got out for a short KVSP ride this morning. Only rode white trail in main park, green near the rail-trail ,and part of yellow up to red (needle climb) and back down red.
The majority of the single track is bare due to someone leaf-blowing in preparation for a half-marathon which was supposed to be run this past weekend. I also got a chance to see the painted arrows on the ground and all of the small sapling cut-offs (most noticeable at the top of red before the needle). I do not understand any of this😕 The same group has used the park for organized trail runs in the past and had always used stakes with arrow signs as course markers. I wonder what brain"iac" was responsible for the decision to use spray paint as a course marker??
The good news is that they did not blow leaves off of the white switchback climb from the main lot, or the yellow climb on the far left where it switch backs slightly up to red (basically everything else I rode was leaf blown!!)
There are several trees down on the white loop as you make your way over toward the lake (all are in need of a hand and/or chain saw).
There are also several trees down across the yellow climb (far left) especially as the trail steepens en-route to red.
The short section of green and all of red were surprisingly clear of any and all felled trees and limbs
Didn't have a chance to check out red, blue, or white (former rouge trail) in the main park. I may get a chance to get back over there on Wed. morning to scope those out...
