      Trail was perfect as of yesterday, no snow and only a couple of very slightly soft spots. All the corners are nice and firm. The grass is growing in where it crosses Sulphur Springs, so it is hard to see, but the trail is still there if you look for it.

      This is a great trail for sure! I was really impressed actually. I would definitely not recommend riding on the road tho unless it was really really quiet time. That road on the weekend or even most evenings is not a family friendly ride.

      The trail is dry and in good condition. We rode down it this weekend with Dirt Series. Nice berms, some jumps /roll-overs. We rode it down to pneuma and then back ho pneuma. It was a great lap to practice skills!

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
