Just a few fallen trees between miles 1-4. Like some others have commented, the dirt bikes have loosened many of the medium sized rocks which makes it pretty exhausting on a MTB (XC dual suspension). I elected to hop out at the first road option. 10ish downed trees in mile 3-4. overall dry though and rideable. I put ideal because that was between wet and dry. I'd say the surface is not ideal due to lose medium sized rocks
