Eleanor Park trails are pretty hard packed, clear and dry as of 4-17-08. Watch out for stobs on the new sections, there are some definite sidewall biters out there.

There were only a couple of small wet spots, the rest is dry and fast. No trees or limbs down anywhere.

Trails are dry and clear, except for one tree out past the fair grounds. Could use some weeds cleared in some areas though.
Overall fast and fun.

Trails are really nice. Rode with some the guys who built them. It was a great time. Those guys are funny. The trails are not marked at all. So unless you ride with someone who knows the trails you will get LOST. They said they had signs to put up, but that one guy won't let them put them up unless he approves it. They said they have been waiting on this for months.

Anyway if you can ride with someone who knows their way, the trails are great. Nice technical singletrack. Hopefully they will get signs up soon.

Rode last night with some of the trail builders. Ran into an old friends dad on a bike and family of runners. Good to see these trails are for everyone. Trails are clear and pretty dry. Someone cut the big tree off of the trail out past the fair ground and some additional benching has been done. They are getting real fast.

Trails are actually in the Putnam County park located in Eleanor. Come on down and have some fun with these guys.

The trails in the park are fairly easy to follow because they are being ridden alot right now.

So, when will the rain finally let up enough to really get the mud out of Eleanor Park? This has been such an atypical June/July with all the rain we've gotten. I'm still waiting for the time where the bike washing becomes minimal!

Trails are fast and clear. Only one tree down on Cliffside. The Czar is clearing a new trail probably to be included in the Creek to Peak race. It promises to be fast and somewhat technical (That guy is a trail building machine).
There's been some weed clearing done, which seemed to speed things up considerably.

Hey etownrider, maybe you can help the Czar fight his battle with the ATVs. Everyone knows that he doesn't lift a finger to do any trail work, but somehow takes all of the credit. Hell, that guy won't even move sticks off the trail. The real Czar of Putnam County is Larry!!!!

Pete, who are you talking about? I WAS refering to Larry. I know a few of his friends have helped him some, but the only guy I've seen more than Larry is some guy with a dog (and he has no tools in his hands).

I think he probably cleared the tree off of Cliffside already, since it was gone today. With that said....trails are dry, smooth, clear, and fast.


The Creek to Peak race will be fast if they run the course the way I think they will. It'll be challenging but really fast. Come ride it and have a blast! (Then maybe we should help the Czar a couple hours.)

Who is in charge of this race? I was at the Dairy Queen and I heard some guys talking about how Larry was not going to let people sandbag in this race like they have in most other races all year. It's about time somebody steps up and stops these bush league shenanigans. I guess Larry really is the Czar.
