Description:
6/29/23 most of the trail was wet and 20 or 30 ft were very muddy. I only rode the lower half of Horsin' Around and a few other trails. There is a rut down most of the trails because of poor trail construction. Loose rocks and roots exposed in many places. Just 2 rides, mine and one other in the last week on Horsin' Around. With it moist many bike tires could really repair much of the rut. But I don[t think that's going to happen. The whole area looks mostly abandoned by bikers, but there are a lot of horses using the trails. I rode some other trails in the area and it is a poorly designed trail system. Everything is pretty much built on the fall line. No switchbacks anywhere to mellow out the climbs and help the water flow off the trails. I pedaled up the steepest trails I have ever ridden in 30 years of riding. I will not be back to this area to ride.
