Should be ok Thursday. Looked good Tuesday evening actually but with the moisture content in the soil wasn't sure what the thaw would look like Wednesday. Didn't see any puddles Tuesday even in the low sections.

We rode there yesterday morning.  It was in good shape.  The second wet bypass was slippery in 1 or 2 places tops, and then because I am so slow it actually started raining just as I got to the RRT Viaduct.  There were 2 sections of off camber stuff and parts of that climb before the Kamakazee DH that were slick, probably more so because they are new vs. the water.


Anyway.  I hope Steve chimes in, if not I may have to head to URE or something.

Sorry for late reply inch of rain Sat. afternoon. Would of been a bit damp in the section by the river but was ridable without causing damage. The off camber immediately following the viaduct would of been tricky it is new and little benching has been done there so the organic layer of topsoil is slick when wet. A few today would of been ok but I wouldn't of wanted an overabundance. 

Come on out Monday. Freshly blown from No Name till end of Stairway. When it is blown this time around should last till next year. The leaves really hold that moisture on the tread.

Thanks for the update, Steve. I'll probably take the drive out there tomorrow if Fisher is still closed.

The owner's post (reply #4) was yesterday evening. He said to come on starting today (Monday). His description sounded pretty positive.
