    The Chokecherry corridor has been pruned of bar-grabbers and face-slappers. The tread has been realigned away from and above the stick lined gully crossing, also raked and demarcated. Lower in Rippey could get some pruning but it is ok for now.

    The first mile from Barracks TH is very dry and extremely loose. It gets better after that! Still fun to ride, just don't expect to set any speed records until we get some moisture to firm things up. reporter
