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. ---

Nora Warren and in and out were really bad and not even rideable, but then i ran into the trail crew and helped them out for a couple hours pics from before the work… ![image](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/d/d2f3124e166235ea199366a73744dce7f114b2fa.jpeg) ![image](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/5/511cf08fa181db37914b3b7b05d920c62420f5ef.jpeg) ![image](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/a/a0c7e03dfdd49a5dee79c5ec8c9f6c007a3bb99c.jpeg) ![image](https://ecmtb-uploads-bucket.s3.dualstack.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/a/adab2513589d0008a9a5c1371e7703ea7794ea7a.jpeg) ---

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. ---

1. Atlantic View Trail is closed due to hurricane damage: [https://www.facebook.com/atlanticviewtrail/posts/2466345593440977](https://www.facebook.com/atlanticviewtrail/posts/2466345593440977) 2. A section of the BLT is closed because they are replacing a bridge. I believe this is not hurricane related: [https://www.facebook.com/BLTTrails/posts/1470396753112891](https://www.facebook.com/BLTTrails/posts/1470396753112891) 3. Shubie singletracks have been cleared of major damage. Still lots of derailleur eating sticks around. ---
