Nice dry western facing ridge trails
Date of Activity: 2/26/2011
Location: Rocky Neck
Condition of Trail(s): Snow, ice, dry, actually not any real mud though!
Observations: ran out hoping that if I got there before it warmed up to much I could get a ride in. Found many areas covered in pure "Foot Print Ice",
hiker prints turned to ice
others with snow BUT!,.... any western facing areas are completely DRY. Lower and eastern facing areas, (swamp side) are pretty much unrideable as the foot traffic has not only roughed it up but the snow has completely turned to ice anywhere they have walked..
got studs?
If you are totally jones'in to ride, you can get some relief here, just ride with care as the ice patches seem to pop right out of no where!! If you got studs, have a ball!!
When I got there, I could ride the fields and float on top of the snow crust, within an hour or so when I went back I was sinking. So if you are going try to ride, head in early in the morning before things warm up!
