Mud, mud and more mud. Actually there are some dry places because they drain well but where it's still wet it's really wet. There is still water just pumping out of the ground but that should slack off this week and things should be really really good in a few days. The NICA NY race yesterday was outrageously muddy, many of the kids bikes were disabled and dead after just a lap or two

I would think you guys are in for another round, later today or tomorrow.
I got up a 5am to torrential rain, lightning and hail hitting the sky light in the bathroom. Went back to bed.
By 7am everything had passed, but it was still quite wet on the rail trail.

Wompy was 80% dry on Sunday, should be perfect by tomorrow.

You all need to buy road bikes, you call yourselves, cyclist's?
Mud season is time to build a fat base on skinny tires.
Take laps, but not in the woods, please.
Let it dry out, for realLast edited by buttahflake; 04-11-2017 at 04:53 PM.

Can't take my dog on the road.
If it's really wet, we hit the turf.

Agreed on ski season. I'm not done yet. Those beat to shit roads are pure pleasure on a gravel bike.

Yeah, this part of VT is brutal with the trucks. Way more options on my side of the river.

Headed to the Catskills for a wedding this weekend. Staying near the Big Indian Wilderness area.
Never been there, have no idea what things are like in ideal conditions, or what the dirt is like now..
Is it worth it to bring bikes?

Fatsinthecats.com is the club in that area. I haven't ridden down that way but from my [limited] research, I'd say that the riding in/around Oneonta, Windham and Kingston are probably your best bets.. but all are going to be a bit of a drive. A friend rode Jockey Hill in Kingston over the weekend and said conditions were great. Not sure what the other spots would be like.

I've been traveling a bunch lately, but got into one area for a couple hours last wkend and it was a disaster from the last storm. I've never seen so many trees down across the trails. The cleanup is going to take a lot of effort from many. It wasn't too wet, but it's still fat tire season. As soon as the greens start drinking we'll be nice and dry...which is happening now.

I've heard rumors that Willowdale is dry. Can anyone confirm? I thought it unlikely but, figured I'd ask

I would imagine, friends rode Harold Parker last week and said it was good to go.

HP and Willowdale are good to go. Landlocked Forest needs a week of dry.

Yes. There is some kickass riding in the area. Check with the guys at Dark Horse http://www.darkhorsecycles.com/ They've got their finger on the button for where the goods are.
