Trail Report

6/2/17 – Baxter’s is open, but just to the creek.  So it’s an out and back, and just a few miles, but it’s a great climb and descent, then a great climb and descent!

6/9/17 – Small wet spots, but the CBCC cut it out yesterday – good to go!

6/26/17  – CBCC cut it all out last week, remaining snow is melting – she’s good to go!

5/30/17 – Riding as an ‘out and back’, there is still snow once on the West Side trail at CBMR, so no loop options.

6/9/17 – Upper Lower – good to go.  Lower Lower – good to go but some water still on trail – remember to ride through it – not around it.  KB Connector – NO GO!  Mad water – not ready.  Budd Trail also good to go. PLEASE don’t braid the trail – if water or mud, please walk/ride through it.  Stay on the trail instead of creating resource damage.

5/29/17 – PLEASE Folks… NO Parking, not even Shuttling to the Lupine 1 start – you must hike or bike into Saddle Ridge.  And parking along Gothic Road – also not a good option.  Do the right thing – access only via muscle power!

May 15 – Good to go!

May 15 – dig it – she’s riding great.  Great loop with Tony’s, Upper Loop, and Bridges.

5/30/17 – Good to go – usual water near the end.

6/22/17 – Kelly Brooks cut out 30+ trees, and she’s ready for rubber!

Tread lightly, still some wet spots up there, but she’s a riding!  Remember to ride the puddles, not braid around them.

SNODGRASS CLOSURE – Sunday, August 13th – Sundown. That means after dark on Sunday – no mas bikes, no mas hikers – no mas perros, y no mas gatos. Bottom line – please respect the closure. You can indeed ride Teddy’s trail and stay to the North/East of the actual closure, but please heed the signs. We treasure our partnerships and trail access with the ranching community. Doing the right thing helps us maintain those opportunities.

7/16/17 – The CBCC was out there yesterday, and despite the snow plug on Gothic Road still, the whole loop is good to go.   Do tread lightly, it’s sensitive terrain and more bike riding – less shuttling is key for sustainable future of this pristine area and trail.  Lots of folks out there too, so remember to protect the image of our sport and be respectful of other users.  Mountain Express does provide free shuttles from Town and Mt. CB to Judd Falls – a great way to have less impact!

7/6/17 – Still mad snow up top, not open to the top.  But you can ride lower until you hit snow – then turn around and send it back home!

7/6/17 – Block and Tackle good up to D-top, but then D-top is bad!  Trees/snow down and all over D-Top.  FS up there working on the North side of Block and Tackle – looking forward to that facelift!

5/29/17 – The Canal is coming around, some wet spots, so remember to practice good trail etiquette out there

7/10/17 – Still snow up there, and at the top of the access points.  Our brethren in moto have cut out the trees up there, but still some snow and the regular mud in between Block and Tackle to Doubletop.  It’s been cut all the way to Waterfall.  May need a wee bit more time for bikes to be up there, but coming along.
