Phil's World Trail update for 3/31

Hello All,
Trail conditions at Phil's World are actually pretty good. Still a few muddy spots. Have not ridden Ledges Loop yet as that still has snow covering portions on northern slopes. Probably another week of high temps will free it up from snow, but it will still be very muddy. Please do not abuse it and walk through sections that are really muddy. Thanks!
LemonHead, the main Abajo section (Ribcage) and the new Trust Loop are all in good shape. Stinking Springs still has some muddy sections but is passable.
Cheers and enjoy the spring riding!

Sand Canyon 13 March 2010

Here is update on Sand Canyon, from Kiviok who “attempted” to ride on Saturday.

 

Trail report.   A greasy muddy mess!  I had to push my bike through most of the modified ride stopping to clear the mud that had caked in the fork and rear triangle making my wheels unable to rotate.   Not worth riding or hiking. 1 hour of hike/bike with at least 1 hour of cleanup.  I did clear most of the steps despite the extra weight and lack of traction.  Didn't clear the 301, and face planted on the drop off right before that due to the greasy mess.  We need 1 week without precipitation with a lot of warm sunny days, and the trail might be ridable again.

Testing 1 2 3

Still snowy.  Phil's World is NOT ready to ride.  Sand Canyon probably good.
