Nobody likes to trek out to a riding area to find muddy trails. Most folks would be reluctant to go home, and such is how trails get damaged. The purpose of this blog is to prevent this scenario...If you like to check the conditions before you leave home, please do your part and tell others about how the trails are by adding a comment... Please, keep it short and to the point. Let's also keep this blog free of rants about users we dislike. Happy trails!

ReplyDeleteHere's the word from a MTBR forum member, posted today:
ReplyDeleteI just got back from riding Picture Rock (11am start). Miles 2 and 3 remain quite vulnerable. There are still many sections that are in the shadows... still frozen and a mess waiting to happen. I was smearing and making a mess of the trail and my bike. I turned around
The lower part of Picture Rock has yet to thaw and dry out, and until we get a chinook to dry out the place, I think the Lyons approach is going to be sketchy on warmer days. I spoke with a couple of others on the trail and heard that above the quarry, there was no moisture at all.
Remember to tread lightly on days like these... it's hard on the trail and your bike as well.
I wish I had started on the Left Hand side
Nicely snowpacked today around noon. I only had time to ride up the picnic table but it looked good from what I could see higher up too.
ReplyDeletevia Dave @ Redstone Cyclery: "Mike from Boulder County Open Space just stopped in. He asked me to pass along some info. Picture Rock is really muddy and snowy right now. The county is wavering on whether or not to officially close the trail until better conditions prevail. Whether they close it or not, please refrain from riding Picture Rock over the next handful of days. It's going to be a while. thanks!"
ReplyDeleteClosed by BCOS because of mud.
ReplyDeleteFrom a friend: Upper third of Picture Rock is totally dry, but you have to access it from Wapita (Left Hand Canyon). Bottom 2/3 of trail is too muddy to ride. Please let it dry out!
ReplyDeleteFrom Redstone Cyclery (Lyons):
ReplyDeleteHall and Heil are all good to go. You'll definitely see mud, but you won't do any trail wreckin' so long as you ride thru and not around.
