Just got back... been away too long... wasn't my idea didn't pull the trigger, Oh, oh oh....
Oops. I'm giving a trail report, not singing Cheap Trick songs. Sorry dudes.
Giles run= Totally muddy. Stay off it. I looked at it from a distance. It was ugly.
Workhouse Loop: The first 100 meters when you get on the loop going clockwise is quite soft. There's a quite soft spot if you continue clockwise around the loop not long before it splits off to the yellow connector.
Slaughterhouse: 20 yards on either side of the creek crossing is very soft. That will be very muddy by tomorrow.
Dairy Barns: Muddy as you approach Power Station in either direction. Approaching in the clockwise direction (between Power Station and the cut-off to Ordhard loop) is always muddy, so that isn't doing any extra damage really.
Power Station is really good. Mud hole at the entry is gone. I railed the berms and rode the skinny. That was the first time I'd ridden that skinny in a month. There's a tree down after the jumps, but before the skinny. Beware. It is big.
Pasture loop has a few soft spots where ice had accumulated.
Here's the bottom line. Start your ride at around 9am. Be done and gone before 11am. You should be fine.
DO NOT SKIRT THE TRAILS!!! If you see some mud, ride through it! You're not a delicate little flower... and if you are, you need the extra fertilizer.
Love,
Pete
