Laurel Hill Conditions 12/05/2009

[Dirt]

Stay off of Giles Run. We rode it yesterday and it was okay. We rode it today and it was definitely not.

Everything else is in good shape. It was fun riding while the snow was falling.

Did any one venture to LH today (Monday). Curious about the trail conditions of the gravel based stuff in the sunlight. I figure Giles Run, PS and SH are mud, but maybe the other bit is ridable?

They'll be fine. There's almost no problem with Slaughterhouse... just the first 15 meters of the trail below the switchbacks (going Counter clockwise). Also on Power Station, it is really only the first 50 meters going clockwise that is bad. The rest of the trail is rock solid.

If you walk those first few sections, you'll have a good ride. There's a rut forming on the second to the last tight turn as you go down the Orchard loop in a counter clockwise direction. You won't notice it with fat tires, but with CX tires it wants to grab your wheel. At this point it is about 1" deep where water is running off.
