It feels like its been a LONG WINTER, and we are all looking to get out on the trails as soon as we can. While it was cold and the ground was frozen it was ok, but now as we enter the spring thaw and the ground is soft and our tires are leaving ruts in the mud instead of riding on top we NEED TO GIVE THE TRAILS A BREAK!!
Please, if you’re riding trail and encounter wet muddy sections, re-evaluate: “Should I be riding this trail right now?” As Fat-biking has increased in popularity we are getting use to riding “all year long” It’s almost true but we need to let the frost come out of the ground and let our trails firm up right now .
If you encounter puddles forming on the trail, take a moment to make a small shallow diversion with you shoe or a stick to let the water run off the trail instead of down it.
Report trail conditions on Trail Forks! It will let other trail users know whether a trail is ready to go or not. It also lets our trail crews know where to focus our efforts.
Our Trail Director Jason Martin prepared this message for our Annual General Meeting if you’d like to learn more about the trail crews plans for 2020, including plans for new trails, and how you can help click HERE
