Wet in places, few trees down but not many. Rode the new trail, it will be nice to see how that trail turns out once it get's broke in. Any new singletrack there should help.

Yea, I know. I found it! It doesn't flow well backwards, that drop that goes across that little stream "SUCKS" going up it :shock: , but it was fun going down! Those rock garden are going to be interesting when your in a race and tired. I kind of lost the other trail for a second. I had to stop and check things out to see where it went. Might want to put a few more flags on it to make it stand out. I can't explain exactly where it is but it was close to the begining and it was leading up to a left handed turn. Look me up on motionbased you can see where I stoped and was looking. My user name is "davebu"

Noob here, we did a few trails today and they were very wet and there are still quite a few trees down. I think I looked into the new trail, is it the one that starts out grass covered, goes into double track and around a fence? You can see some type of building off of it? We turned back and headed down the trail to the picknick area which was clear and fairly dry

Sounds like you were in the right place, but superfly would be a better one to answer that.

Rode there yesterday and the trails are in great shape for the race this weekend. Jason & his trail crew has done a excellent job on the trails, new and old.
Going to be nice and dry for the race so lets see if we can have a nice big turnout.

I was also there and have to say the new trails are great. It should be a very fast race

I rode here today and the trails are all in good shape. Ran across 1 downed tree but cut it out on one of my trips by it. I see the 4-wheerlers have started using Rhodenderon trail :evil:

Trails are wet but pretty solid. A few small limbs across the trail. Most can be crossed without dismounting.

Yep, Still very WET! One of these days I'll actually get to ride here on a dry day. There are a bunch trees down now. This place really needs a chainsaw right now.

I rode the single loop course today and it is in pretty bad shape. There are quite a few trees down some of which can be crossed or detoured around but there are a few very large ones that will probably have to be removed before the race. I don't have a chain saw (and its going to take one) but will help out however I can if some of you want to do some trail cleaning.
