What does the park look like after IDA? I trail ran through some of wayway the other day, and a lot of stuff was pretty wet and/or underwater. I know Ringwood doesn't drain nearly as well as Wayway, so curious.
Agreed. Rode yesterday myself. Some mud holes. Fire roads were pretty beat up. I am shocked regarding the fact that anything at RW is still wet. Usually drys so fast. A testament to the amount of rain that has fallen recently. Going to be awhile until White and the Race Trail by Shepherds are totally dry.Rode last night and Double S/6 Bridges/Renegade/Warm Puppy were pretty good. Streams running high and a couple puddles but not terrible. Fire road erosion was pretty evident and lower White was still wet with running water.

Also, there is a new fallen tree just below the Gator.Rode yesterday - segment accessible via intersection of Sterling Mine Road and Long Meadow Road. I basically rode up to Lot A, then back down again. Almost all tacky except for the downhill that starts at the Alligator - there are some stream gaps here where the mud is still fresh so I'd say avoid this piece if possible.
Looks like more rain this afternoon so go right now or wait another couple days.
I haven’t had a chance to go out but it’s going to rain again tonight and tomorrow, so it doesn’t look too good.Anyone have a conditions report? Hiked yesterday at Harriman and there was a bunch of standing water holes.
Are the down trees the size an awesome hand saw would be able to take care of?Most trails on the north side of the park are in good shape as of yesterday. There are some spots with standing water, also a few trees down. However, rain is expected tonight so not sure how the weekend will be.
The one on the race course is more than 14 inches diameter. Art plans to get in there with a saw in the next 2-4 days. The one on Cooper Union is about 10-12. Maybe a hand saw on that one.Are the down trees the size an awesome hand saw would be able to take care of?
Art took care of the tree on Cooper Union. He hopes to get up into the park to take care of one on racecourse. If there are more trees down in other locations, please let us know. This may be our last time up there for the next 6 months, so would like to get as much as possible while we have the saw in there. Thanks!Are the down trees the size an awesome hand saw would be able to take care of?
Thank you, I intended to get out there and take care of it on Saturday but the weather had other plans. I ended up not leaving the house the whole weekend as yesterday was the only day I had left to blow some leaves, we're not even halfway with the leaves falling off our trees and the amount on the ground is just discouraging.Art took care of the tree on Cooper Union.

How big? and do they block the trail completely?not sure it's technically Ringwood but some trees down on the red/yellow trails if going from TOS to Ligenstein
