12/5/19 -Conditions are quickly improving! Yesterday’s rain is already turning our trails to hero dirt. Carroll Canyon is already riding very well, other areas still have some flowing creeks and washes, and there are still many muddy spots. Please use your judgment as our trails dry out and become ride-able. If mud is sticking to your bike or you are leaving ruts, it is too muddy to ride. Please ride through puddles and not around them.
Many of the washes are still flowing, and may be difficult to cross. Oak Creek is very high and currently impossible to cross, and Dry Creek is also a difficult crossing.
A sunny afternoon like we’ve seen today does wonders for getting our trails into prime condition. Check back for updates, Friday looks like it is going to be an amazing day of riding. Stop by the shop or call for the most up to date trail conditions, different areas will dry out at different speeds. See you out there!
