It has been forever since I have been out. Still recovering from this summer of health-suck.
The upside, rolled a nice 7 mile loop last night at Bradbury to rehab the knee a bit and assess damage from the storm.
The trails were rolling super well. It looks like a majority of the stuff that fell on trail was minor brush. Spent a few minutes clearing small trees and larger branches. The rain actually helped a bit....all the singletrack I rode was tacky and enjoyable. No real standing water to speak of EXCEPT on Fox East where there are 3 sections that had unavoidable puddles. They should dry in a few days. I didn't hit a majority of the tight and twisty as I was trying to keep it fairly tame.
There was clearly evidence of some work that had been done. Fox bypass had a very large tree that had been moved off trail. The relatively new bridge on Link, however, had a birch that fell straight across it. You either had to climb over it or take the bypass. No real "easy over".
I took a few pics that I will post tonight. There were a few signs of the changing seasons...a tree here or there that were starting to turn a shade of red.
Again, felt good to be out and it is almost my favorite time of year to ride.
