Good conditions. Loose upper third, but that is probably normal. Lots of colorful leaf clutter on the trail adds to the mystery. Thanks to everyone who was involved with brushing and some waterbar prep for incoming storms.

Overall running great, can use some vegetation cleanup as you get whacked in the head a couple times from small tree branches, and some weeds alongside the trail obscure the view, but still rideable at 25+mph. Creek crossings except for 1 are also rideable but could use some more buildup to help the transition.
