Renni has been showing as closed since 2/3... I know there were a few days in that span when everything else was opened. Is the status just not being updated or is there an issue on the trail we need to address (I can have a chainsaw out there within the hour...)

Any chance it opens today or tomorrow?

I cleared 2 trees off it Tuesday, but the tra had standing water on it then.   I'm out of town now on a family emergency.  I'll check it when I return.

Since Greg is out of town, I stopped by Renni today, looked around and talked to a rider. Trail seems to be ok to ride now and I updated the status on the home page.

The connector section (from the softball to the volleyball side) is still muddy and riders may want to take the sidewalk on Tyvola instead.

Thanks guys. Gonzo - if you need help cutting out trees or whatnot hit me up. I'm not too far from Renni.

Hitting this next.  Passed it by after riding SWDP.  Didn't realize they were so close to each other.

Rode Renni today- the new bridge through "the swamp" is awesome, but the rest of the connector trail was the worst I've seen it in 5 years of riding Renni. It was a slippery, muddy mess. 

A few spots on the volleyball/tennis loop were muddy as well (one little dip had a mud hole at the bottom that sucked up 140mm of travel and pitched me onto the top tube). 

Short track/Softball loop is in great shape.

There is a tree down about 300-400 yards past the gulley option. Will require a chainsaw.

The 2 trees that were down on the tennis court side have been cleared.  There's enough small dead fall out there to deplete most shops derailleur supplies.  Trail is wet in the usual spots.  Didn't ride the softball side or short track due to the race going on.  The connector trail is a mess.  We're building bridges to gey away from the slop, but it's gonna take a lot of bridges.  2 complete so far, more to follow.
