CRAMBA: Stony Creek

[Trail_Warrior]

So how about those trail conditions? Being concerned with something so trivial is well, trivial to say the least. As stated before Bloomer gets painted way more thoroughly than Stony yet I see very minimal complaints there? Just pedal faster and you'll hardly notice the paint

really???

Regardless of the heat I'm going to pedal, and I'm not going to let any amount of orange paint get in my way ... We wait all winter for this so take advantage

If you ride in this heat your rocks will turn orange and buzzards will eat them!

All I can think about when I see the orange paint all over everything is what a bunch on pansy asses all of these "Trail Runners" are that they have to mark the rocks and roots in bright paint so they don't trip over them. They should probably stick to walking if they can't handle a couple bumps in the trail.

Exactly!

Why don't they use chalk or flags for marking event features? It seems like more environmentally sustainable and less permanent solution.

Ever try poking chalk into firm dirt? It just crumbles. Besides most chalk is short and wouldn't stick up far enough. Duh!

Relax, and share the trail! If you push this to far you might get a new regulation you do not like. Remember that the PARK boss does not allow any Mt. Bike trails in his home park. Don't open any doors you can't close!

I think he meant spray chalk

We need rain bad..........it is slick out there...............but that orange paint saved me a couple of times

Trolley trails...
If you ride them, there's a tree blocking the trail at the bottom of the largest hill out there.
Just uphill from the wooden bridge on the Eastern side of the main loop.
The park has been Emailed.

It's no big deal if you're riding Clock-wise, but it may leave a stain if you're riding Counter Clock-wise...

Trail is in absolutely great shape. Did a pre-ride today for upcoming marathon race. There's a bit more sand/loose stuff than I guess would be ideal, but it's mostly very fast and fun. One problem---in the south section of twisties (I believe this goes from number 6 to 19 or something like that?) there in the big rock garden it looks like someone has been removing rocks Not sure if this is from natural processes or from human ones, but it would be kind of nice to see them make their way back in.

PS thanks to those who maintain this great trail.

The trail there gets enough use that the rock garden empties naturally. A couple times a year loose rocks get placed back in, but within a few weeks most of them have rolled out the back side.
