Hey Steve,

Trying to plan out tomorrow afternoon.  How's the trail look?  Wind seems to have helped dry things up a little but the cold doesn't help that.  Thoughts?

To be honest I have not been out of the house today. From looking out and hearing the wind I will be going ahead and opening the trail. The leaves have really been coming down. I expect it will make for interesting and exciting riding.

Rode a lap and a half last night and the leaves plus darkness made for some interesting riding to say the least.  In places the trail seemed to just disappear.  But it was still awesome after a week and a half off the bike.  Finished up around 8:15 just before the storm blew in.  THANKS! Steve for an awesome place to ride.

Trail was just fantastic on Friday.  Thanks again Steve and crew for all the fantastic work.   Well worth the drive.

Just opened it. 

May be a little wet in places but to beautiful an afternoon to waste.  The area as you turn off of Parks Lafferty will lead you think conditions are worse than they actually are for the most part.

So I'm 10 min away and know how much rain we got but any chance on opening tomorrow. It would be a great birthday present!  Tongue

We have had 2.75" of rain this week. However we've stayed away from freezing so I think it looks ok. May want to hit the bypasses maybe not they aren't that bad.   

PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR THE WOODEN BRIDGES!!

They aren't that bad just don't take them for granted. Happy Thanksgiving.

Trail status shows RRT is open, and it was just edited a few minutes ago.

Thanks for opening it up. It was just what I needed before stuffing myself full of turkey!

Had a pretty hard freeze, as the sun hits it probably be more slick spots than yesterday. Freezing has a way of drawing that moisture to the surface.

FYi... Trail was in great shape when I started around 10 this am.  A few slick/thaw spots, mostly in open section in the very beggining and the field.  Other than that it was pretty tacky.  I rode both low sections with no issue.
