Rode there today and it was surprisingly dry considering it rained through the evening into the morning, the dirt road climbs were by far the wettest the singletrack was mostly dry, but the roots were slippery. Missed a turn once but once you’re on the singletrack it is well marked. Seems like there are some new trails going in, made a “wrong” turn following the flagging tape and found a loamy trail that was rideable but obviously still had some work to do. Many sections were raked so there has been maintenance this year. Good work trail elves!
Trailforks link is broken, and the area doesn’t appear in a search…edit, it needed to be confirmed I’ll try and upload a track sometime soon, assuming the trail elves have no objections.
I had a trailforks community advocate sent me a thanks for importing trails. So thanks @bent6543!
Btw, what are the trails like, @bent6543? Are they clear enough that a tuesday night group ride is feasible? Without excessive risk of injury or getting lost?
@bent6543 might not concur but I would venture there are some black diamond sections on the XC singletrack downhill, especially with lights. I’ve never ridden there with lights but it is definitely rideable if you have skills, lots of people do it. There is also less technical riding there.
@JeffV I’d say the trails are fine for night riding from a technical perspective, I wouldn’t rate anything on the trails black diamond but it is rooty and steep in spots, nothing that my rigid bike with v brakes can’t ride.
I wouldn’t recommend going there at night for the first time without a guide or a mapping gps, there are lot more trails and roads than are on the maps.
There are one or two steep sections that scare me more than so called black diamond stuff. I was probably over-rating Grey Mountain a bit since most of my scars were earned there!
But then I fall constantly so don’t listen to me.
