Trail Name: George C Waldo State Park
Town: Southbury
Trail Conditions: Good, three blockages, twigs and sticks
Observations/Information: Hit Waldo for a quickie on Wednesday morning. It was a warm and sunny mid-Autumn day. November can be a great month to ride in. The first and third widow makers are now down- you'll need to bushwhack around them. The second is still hanging. It's shortly after the power line and easy to see- ride under at your own risk. There's also a tree down on the final descent on Where's Waldo- just past the last stone wall crossing. A new line is forming around it. Daffy Duck is clear. I didn't ride the Extra Credit Loop. Twigs and sticks continue to come down.

I was alone and rode at about an 85% pace. Waldo is a great place for brisk sustained riding- the terrain is rolling and the tread relatively smooth (just stay in control and don't lock up those brakes please). It made me understand why racers train there.

Waldo just might be the most cleaned-up place in the West central part of the state right now, and a good choice for a weekend ride.
