Thanks!
The portion of McIntosh run (fight) that i rode this morning was in decent shape. Rode osprey, schnitzel, attic, lake loop counter clock wise to where the connection will be made. There were a couple of wet spots, nothing that a couple sunny days won’t dry up. Ran into Brock, who was also out riding and clearing brush from the trails. Can’t comment on the rest of the trails.

Bowater is in fine shape. We cleared most deadfall, with the exception of a few large trees requiring proper equipment. Quite dry overall and great riding. Nothing to worry about on the descents.

So, Da minion, da minion ext have been taken care of as well as the fire road. I did that this morning as well as opened up « the missing link » from Death March to Suzie Q. Entrance is at the tree line for Suzie Q. I road it tonight going counter clockwise. just beyond that area inside the tree line right at the top of the final climb or first decent there are 2 big trees i’d say both over 12 inches in diameter. Too big for me and my axe. Flip Side has one tree right in the middle of a decent when going clockwise it’s stump is about 12ft up the hill and two thirds of it fell standing up right in the middle of the trail. I’ll take a walk tomorrow morning and clean loose debris and the smaller trees but for sure I can’t move those 3 big trees myself. I didn’t touch Suzie lake loop or Death March. Overall trails are in good shape, not too muddy .

Had a report from Nine Mile, although I haven’t been there myself. Trail was wet (of course!). A few trees down after the crusher dust ends. No big ones. All easily stepped over. Will try to get some volunteers in this week to clear them.

Anyone out to empire yet?
Spider Lake had lots of debris down but nothing more than leaves and light branches. No trees down anywhere I rode. I did not ride Skull or Replicator. Two people I met in the parking lot said Skull had a tree down but TBH I think it was their first time there and perhaps the tree they refer to has always been down.
Regardless, it is all good at Spider

Rode Spider yesterday and though I pulled a half dozen smaller trees from the trails, there are many large trees down. Skull has a massive tree down blocking the trail closer to the double track. Lake Major Loop has several. Ribbon has at least 3 large trees down. Picnic is just about clear, except for a half tree jutting into the trail. Replicator is clear too.

Atlantic View Trail is closed due to hurricane damage:

A section of the BLT is closed because they are replacing a bridge. I believe this is not hurricane related:

Shubie singletracks have been cleared of major damage. Still lots of derailleur eating sticks around.
