So, I rode at Bent Creek on Sunday. This was first time up there since the canes hit. Most of the "main trails" were fairly clear and in good condition.
They were a few GIANT trees down, but not enough to be much of a problem.
However, I climbed all the way up that Betty Heinous trail or whatever its called. The one marked by a pile of rocks way up in the middle of nowhere.
I am not sure if this trail is still open, but if it is, it shouldn't be.
Its totally worked and practically unridable.
So much water flooded down it, that it eroded to the point where your front wheel just disappears in holes, and its like this all the way down to the trail junction at the gravel road. Even that wide fast wide open bottom section was rutted enough to chunk ya over the bars in many places.
It was sad for sure.
Even the long climb up to this trail was real eroded from all the rain that flowed down it.
Anyway, this was just a heads up for anybody heading up there.
Also, whoever is doing the trail work up there is doing a great job.
I noticed they had to make alot of rock gardens for water routing.
I know that took a lot of time and effort.
