Nassau Trail conditions

[rick81721]

Big tree down where marked - blocks the trail twice. Otherwise, trails are perfect

This is good news!

@Meg and I will be at Nassau main lot at 0930. Slow, steady roll for at least an hour.

Who is Meg?

I have 9-10 calls. Plus it’s going to be 9500 degrees.

 

[Carson]

Ex-co-worker who is newer to the sport. But fit AF.

Supposed to be cooler than today and you and I both rode the road (like idiots).

 

[Patrick]

i'll bring my "hand" saw and get there early. I hope.

this should move out of the conditions thread.

Would if I could but the minimal Friday work blocks me. Keep trying.

Should be there Monday.

 

[Robin]

@Carson will be there

Bummer - due to wifey PT, I can only do group rides Tues or Thursday

 

[Fire Lord Jim]

I'm in. Logs are out.

I'll be in Alaska on a rental bike on Monday. But you do you.

Good conditions this morning.
Trail fairy cleared the tree that Rick noted.

tree down on Chip's trail. it is floating so had to portage the bike



There are a few more trees down on Springside - but they can be ridden.
The head height one on Brogan's near the rock step-up is still there.

 

[Big Al]

Trails were in good shape today. Plenty of sticks and branches. Kicked some off. Cleared small tree on Chips and another on Sidewinder. Still a tree down near the beginning of Sidewinder. Too big for my handsaw but you can go around it. Another tree on near the bottom of Rocky Ridge near Bench. Can also go around but sort of a Pita. Sorry no pic.

 

[CNJRider]

Was pretty good this am before the rains came just as Big Al states above. There were more branches on the trail to Foran fields but rest of Springside was not bad and mostly clear already.

 

[CNJRider]

BTW, does the barrel jump always look like this or did the rains erode more of their dirt base? Looked too sketchy for my skill level so discretion won over valor.

 

[rick81721]

I rode pretty much everything today - great shape. Only one tree down on the bench trail that needs to be cleared (black X)

I, too, was at Nassau today. Came up from the Foran Field parking lot. Totally concur with @rick81721 ’s assessment — no mud, lot’s of hero dirt. Saw a downed tree near the bottom of one of the Sidewinder switchbacks. It may have been reported earlier, but it’s worth noting as it’s at a spot where you could be carrying a lot of downhill speed (sorry for poor quality photo…):

Also got a small one out of the way:

Yep saw the sidewinder tree too but that was easy to go around - at least in the direction I was going.

@Mare45 and I will be at Nassau tomorrow at 12:30pm sharp before the next deluge. Anyone?
