The ground was still frozen on Sunday but it's not going to last.


Headed out to ride at Upper Paugussett on Sunday and there were quite a few revelations seen on the trail. Some new trees came down that were taken care of, however, it looks who ever did this got a little over zealous and cut through an up and over that has been on the trail for years.

 

Also looks like people are riding when they shouldn't be. 
Way to many ruts everywhere!


With all the rain we have been getting and the temperature fluctuations, freezing to warming, means you should not be riding the trails if the ground isn't frozen.


While climbing up the Mulikin today I rode the entire reroute, and it would appears that others have ridden it as well. It was really nice but will need a few tweaks here and there.


As I got closer to the new roller the shape looked oddly familiar


The shape reminds me of Jabba the Hut



More ugliness on the unsactioned trail.

Today, however, I was in rare form. I cleaned the reroute climb on the Mulikin Trail and then I rode down the section of the unsanctioned trail that is benched with rocks and went over the bridge. Hit the bridge going the other way, too. Once back on the Gussy Trail I came across some folks out for a walk who were a little lost and told them how to get back to the parking lot.


The Brew Crew Roller is always a little daunting with the way the blow down was cut. Still haven't hit my head yet! Further down the trail, where it splits off for the Reach Around it's really wet and I think a reroute is needed around that section.



Even the Reach Around is getting rutted


I can't believe people bag their dog's crap but leave the bag on the tail. 
Asshats!


Heading back down the Mulikin I hit a muddy patch that was frozen underneath and went on the deck.
