I rode There yesterday before the rains. It was hero dirt everywhere and no puddles. It should most likely be good to ride today as well.

Rode this evening. Trails were in great shape. Too bad rain this week will crush riding for a bit.
Park is nice right now. New downhill trail had two large roots removed and some other minor work done. Heard it maybe part of the race in June. Also removed some roots on middle orange near the fire road, still a lot more to go.
Looking to get a work day together soon to cut a reroute by the back parking lot in the next few weeks.

New downhill trail?
Yeah off of yellow trail west we cut a little trail using a gully with the intention of being directional. Hopefully we can put some markers on it but that’s up to the park at this point.

That section rips, rode it twice today it’s stupid fun. Whomever cut that trail nailed it perfectly!
park is in good shape. Not too many limbs after the wind yesterday.
Mostly dry. Tall squeaky trees are not enjoyable. The wine berry bushes are getting tall and thorny in the usual spots.
I roughed up a number of the damp spots where ruts were forming as the spots were drying out. This helps them lay flat as the drying cycle completes. The only two I couldn’t get to are on the downhill/sidewinder trail. There are mud ridges forming on the downslope side of two of the troughs. This prevents water from shedding off the trail leading to muddy spots.
Thanks! The downhill trail is going to need some other work too, now that it’s being ridden we came fine tune.
In other news red reroute already had tire marks 😄
And in similar news, yesterday I spotted someone riding the closed trail. You know, the one with GIANT “Trail Closed” signs on both ends and netting that you cannot miss. SMH. 🤦♂️ I placed some deadfall at one entrance to discourage further intrusions. Not even sure why anyone would want to ride that trail when the reroute is light years better.
Yep I see some folks are overcooking some of the turns leading to skids on the high sides. Unless we berm them up a bit I think we’ll see some widening.
This is the way.
