Maybe. Depends on how quickly the trails drain. Really, I don't plan on MTBing until Sundown is closed though.

the ridges drain pretty quickly with a little sun and no rain. the low areas take some time but they dont call it mud season for a reason!

fwiw....i typically dont ride when the trails are wet (its does F them up), but sometimes u gotta ride and i do a little trail cleaning so i feel it balances out. stay high to stay dry...

i find if i'm in places like Pennwood early season the mud is minimal... its mostly rocks ya know? ridge line trails and such offer up some good early season riding.

I did the double sports thing a lot last season as well. Wicked fun. hardest part... choosing which you want to do when its 65 and nice out...
