Went and rode most of the U today. First time I have ridden the main loop in a while. The Games Loop was good and the addition is riding in nicely. Can't wait for the rest of the extension to get finished. The Red Loop was pretty wet in places. I was having flash backs from the Ididaride. The brook that has surfaced in Carl's Trail isn't bad. The bottom of the Chute was pretty bad ( Cleaning BB and wheelset ) and the horses aren't helping. Skipped the Gorge and Bone, figured they have to be worse. Crossing the Powerlines at the end of Bone was even muddy. Bottom Bracket deap water at the bottom between Treehugger & Greenbrier. Treehugger pallet bridge is good but holes at both ends that will cause an OTB. Pretty nasty below the vegetable tunnel as well. It was nice weather to get out and ride but know that you are going to get wet, chew up some brakes and probably should put your BB for a good cleaning. Doing an out and back on the Games will get you pretty close to 10 miles and it won't be near as hard on your bike. FYI: I hear Blackwater is holding up quite well and is worth the trip.
