Evil Bob? Snacks/TH? I'll be out there about 4:30 for a couple hours or so. Been too long and I need to get out there before the weather turns the clay sections to goo.

Doesn't JG get really over grown in the summer time? Dang, I miss that place :mumble:

Edit: Uh, I'm out of commision until November 1st :nono:

Not too bad. On the SW side moreso. But, it's all been dying back everywhere with the lack of rain.
Sorry, I forgot you're out for a while...
Will report back. It's been a while since i rode there. So, I'll be spending a lot of time remembering which trails are better to climb and which ones are a push.
Maybe I'll get to flip the birdie to a few Boink folks along the way there...

Not too badly overgrown at all. Most of the trails were brushed back too. Holy moly there's a couple big ass drops in there. The one on the North side between the two trees is a biggun. Just a few other riders and the trails are actually a bit dry and loose. Need to go there more often. Chris the main builder is a genius. All that side hill stuff is awesome. Just a couple small nettle reminders.

Thanks for the update on the trail conditions! I really like some of the trails up there. It's a great place to get a ride in after work. We stick to the west(?) side of the tracks usually, I think :confused:

If you ride up the low trail next to the tracks on the North side to the gated road and then stick higher up on the way back, it's at least a 2 mile downhill with some rolling ups along the way. Real nice. Takes you right back to the 4 way intersection at the bottom by the bridge.

Upslope brush is pushing people to the outside of the benching and subsequently, there are sections that are starting to blow out.
A pass with a weed whacker would really cure a lot of it.

Get better so you can go ride it!
