MCMBA: Maybury

[b_b]

Lots of mosquitoes.

I flatted a couple weeks ago and skeeters chewed me up good while changing it. I'll be adding some Off towelettes to my repair kit!

Any body been out here and know what the trail is like, hoping to get out there sat.

The trail was super fast. Hard packed and trimmed back pretty nice. No down trees.

Trail is fast. Trail is also starting to erode badly, I havent been there in about a mouth and it has taken allot of abuse (In my opinion.) Roots are starting to come out and many pot holes. If a trail day is in the works or is already scheduled I will donate some of my time...

trail is in good shape after the monsoon yesterday; no standing water and no fallen trees.

Watch out for the dead skunk on the trial. It's about a mile from the end b

How is the trail now that we have had all the rain? Thinking of stopping and riding here Saturday after work. I have never riden here?

I rode yesterday (Friday). The trail is fine. It was slightly damp, but certainly not wet or soggy, especially not in any of the low-lying areas that sometimes get all goopy. One thing---the person who said it's getting eroded is right. The first climb is very washed-out (I think this happened mostly at the TT race) and some of the descents are basically one pothole after another. The berming that was done to make some of the turns better/faster/fancier are holding up well, it's just some of the climbs and stuff are getting washed out. Also, some of the dips in the trail had puddles in them; I'd call it a situation in which you might want to just take it easy through them. They're not damaged, but if you're spinning your wheel, they'll get bigger.

I'd also love to help fix things up if there's a workday, to second what some others said.

As of this morning the trail is in decent shape. There's the odd small puddle, but otherwise the trail took all the rain very well. Give it a full day of this gorgeous weather and the everything should be completely dry.

I had stopped to remove a small tree that had fallen half way into the trail, that hit me directly in the face, 1/4 inch from my eye. I am surprised the four riders before us did not stop to take the time to remove it. But I do have to thank the guy coming down the hill that stopped and help us, thanks guy... Other than that few mud spots, and lots of dead fall after the first path cross over.

Monday,9/12. This afternoon as I was getting my bike out of the car I heard a loud crash coming from the woods. Toward the end of my ride, I found what it was - a large tree fell across the trail about 1/4 mile from the end. Two riders behind me told me that was NOT there on their first lap. Amazing I could hear that all the way to the 8-Mile road parkinglot. I grabbed my folding saw and hatchet, went back and removed a large sapling the tree knocked over the trail also. My hatchet was useless on the big tree, needs a chainsaw.

Other than that the trail is in good shape.

Haven't ridden Maybury this year until last night. Trail was in great shape except for the first section. Lots of brake bumps on the downhills. But after that it was fast and smooth. Some rocks showing but that is typical of any trail this time of year. Fun!

[irishpitbull]

Tree still down near the end. Needs a saw for sure.

[chisbang]

The Park has been notified re the downed tree and they will take care of it shortly. Thanks for the reports.

[deezler]

The tree can be ridden over if you dont mind putting your chain ring on it..... (I didn't do it though, but my buddy was just fine).

Trail is in good shape, little bumpy with hard-packed dirt knobs, but altogether good.

Was my first time out on Tuesday afternoon/evening, enjoyed the heck out of it! Except for there being 100 other dudes riding it.... SOOo crowded..
