Round Valley Conditions

[Patrick]

Mud at the back gate road crossing, and behind the farm where the new section starts (usual bad spot)

Some trimming has been done, but there are rose whips hanging over the trail in other places.
Have some forehead blood to prove it.

Trail is clear of trees.

Due to overwhelming demand I got out today and finished trimming up the Puke Hill Flats up top.

Before & after:

Trees down and overgrown but still rideable when everything else is a swamp.

I just was about to post too, hehe. One near summit, one in preserve on yellow trail. I posted gps on Trailforks. Otherwise great, almost no mud

Is the top of Puke Hill where I trimmed still clear or is that already bad? Kirt told me there were other spots to address but I’m curious if the top is ok still.

After you crest puke hill, and start to head down, that’s all overgrown. The switchbacks are overgrown too.

Guess i'm riding tomorrow morning......

Not bad

All clear all the way around -

Gates at the boat launch are locked - don't try to cut back to the swim area - that trail is no longer maintained.

Thanks Patrick!

The ground level weeds are fine, but there is stuff at shoulder height that is growing in.
Cush is getting narrow.

The tree top that was hanging from the grape vines finally fell - right in the middle of the trail.
That took some work.

Cool new arch on the rollercoaster

Primo conditions, but getting a little overgrown. Recommend long sleeves for protection.

Oh look who’s back at RV now that she owns an e-bike…

@Mare45 and I did some trimming in Cush yesterday.
Yeah, it is bad.

I'm going to need some stihl batteries for a trimming day next week.

I can try to join but my TM mojo was dumped into the BSA the last 3 weeks.

I'll go with you with pruners in hand to work more of my magic. I can even use a mini powerless saw now too.

I am always willing to pitch in to help. I will come and test out the trail to make sure there was enough pruning clearance.

Lots of trees down on the top of puke hill
