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.
