Seems to have gotten worse out there since Saturday. Quite a few greasy spots yesterday evening.

It's on. Reports from rides last night said there was some mud remaining from the recent rains, but another nice, sunny day like today should do the trick...

Dave ordered some new signs and installed them tonight. Much easier to see than the white on yellow...

Nice. That would be a good standard for all our trails.

Loving the new signage. Wife and I rode the whole thing today, and it was awesome! Trail was an absolute blast today. Any muddy areas have at least partialy dried out and been smoothed over.

Trail was dry and fast all the way through. I did my best to flatten the pizza cutters. Did anyone notice the awful toxic smell out by the crater today around 9-11:30 a.m.? Is sasquatch up to no good out there?

That is the time that we were there as well. I didn't notice any smell though. Was too busy smiling ear to ass as I finally didn't hesitate before riding the crater. :D
