Espenschied Trail conditions

[bykpedlr]

Trails are a little slick in some of the turns, but nothing serious, very ride-able, so go do it!

Twas the day after Christmas and all through the forest, not a creature was stirring except my wife and I...
We walked most of the trail to see how this weeks ice storm affected the trees and were very surprised how few branches were down on the trail.  There was one major tree down on the way in that is on one of the mowed trails.  we went in on the right side and picked up branches until two loops past the prairie.  It was a wonderful day, with light fluffy snow falling.  It was great to see that the hard work last summer by so many has paid off in only minimal amount of trees down.  Have a blessed Christmas season!

Spring is coming!!!  And with it mud, wet conditions!  Please dont try biking on the trails until the frost has come out and things have firmed up and dried up.  Several of us have been walking the trails regularily this winter and all obstacles are cleared and all thorns are cut way back.  I plan to some shovel work in April to cut back some banks and erosion prevention.  Let me know if you are interested in helping

I walked the trails while my wife rode them, and things are in great shape.  Mike R and I did some dirt work last weekend, and shaved done some verticle edges, and renforced water diversions.  With the trails in great shape, I want to maintain them in this state for the year, so I am looking for those who are interested in helping with the clipping and trimming.  So if you are interested let me know.
