Nassau Trail conditions

[CNJRider]

There are no bad places to start from. I have no lot in particular that I favor and have begun many rides out of Foran. Fun to hit up the mtb trails on Springside/Nassau, play a bit on the flow trails, hook up with Columbia/Ken Lockwood too and then ride roadie back to Foran.

Rode here Saturday. trail conditions very good, if a bit dry (no duh).
On the Wall trail ("fun flow trail"?), looks like the eponymous wall has a downed tree along its entire length. Any chance this can be cleared, or is the tree too big to cut out or move?

Must be new? I'm sure they'll clear it. They have permission to use the big saws, and bring in a mini excavator.
Awesome relationship they've built with the town.

Any issues riding today? It didn't seem like we got that much rain last night....?

I'm thinking of hitting it tomorrow, start at Faran around 10

I'm sure all is good there. If 6-Mile is OK, then Nassau will be fine.

Is there any upcoming TM scheduled? A few trails can use some trimming, and I was going to try to help out...

They don't mind hand trimming. Have at it!
No power tools without permission

I just got back. Totally dry everywhere. Wouldn't have known we had any rain

Electric trimmer?

Yes, pretty much perfect conditions today.

I'm here now. Signs say "open" and conditions are great.

Forgot to mention this Friday after I was there - I'm guessing it's still there.

Large tree down on "Connector" trail (the middle up from switchbacks that has the machine thingy up top).

I think this is the same tree Robin saw. There are actually 2 within about 10 yds - the first is hoppable, the second one, no.

Just saw the Columbia trail is closed due to an infestation of stinging insects, glad they weren't there 2 weeks ago

All fixed. And a few others.
Lots of 2" branches down.

Let Me Google That

For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question than to google it for themselves.

Haha that was very helpful. So someone had a concert in that lot with a huge boom microphone? Well if anyone misses it, I'm around a few more days then heading to FL.

It is a pin to a lighting truss. Prevents tubes from separating. They are clamped and pinned. It is holding a banner in this pic. Probably was on the floor of our truck. We had an aid station in the lot
