tried to ride it last weekend.
the parking lot still has 2 ft of compact on each side of the gates.
lower moto is only hikable because of all the snow at the beginning.
upper is not in any condition to ride ie: river through trail, snow, tree branches.
overall, those trails need like a solid 2 days of just trail maintenance after all the snow melts, which wont be for awhile.

If we're lucky maybe late may but its hard to tell. Seeing how there was 2 ft of compact in the middle parking lot area, and that was before our little spring blizzard... We will need like a weekend or so just to clean up the trails too.

lower trails are rideable from the rail grade down. but they are wet wet wet. but once its all going we need to group together and do a trail maintence day and trash pick-up as there is massive garbage up there from the stupid disrespectful hicks shooting their guns and getting drunk.

most of the trails are ridable on the bottom if you hike, only the bottom is shuttable to the rail grade because right at the right turn up the rocks there is 2ft. of snow on the road. everything is very rough from all the erosion.

I think it's game on this w/e... gonna have to hike/push some stuff below 38 this week... some legit, some not... I'll be back from Leavenworth by sat night

Watch out for glass on the fire roads... What is it with snow/guns/computer monitors/glass bottles and the white trash?

multi-use is a double-edged sword :)

I think we are going to attempt some 38 action this weekend. Hopefully the 70+ and sunny will help dry out the remaining snow (if there is still any).

I foresee a very large turnout this weekend for some reason :)

I was gonna go; sent texts to Jerry, Joe, others... I think Jerry is up for it...

But I'm going to Leavenworth Sat/Sun with a lady friend...

I'll have to push it on Mon or Tues...

All I got to say is look out for glass in the snow... I pulled out what I found on Sunday when I hiked it w/the girly

I rode up N last w/e w/Casey and Dennis... the upper trail has some blow downs and there was so many riders there....

I might be able to make it on Sat for an hour or two... I'll get a hold of Jerry if I think I can do it...

I hiked it last Sunday... last Sunday it would take a 4x4 w/a 3" lift and you'd be alright... if it's hot on Friday I think you'd be ok w/a lower clearance truck...

If I don't make it this w/e I'm definitely pushing it and another greasy/shady trail that we don't talk about on here on Mon/Tues...

rode it today with a buddy- conditions are perfect except for the rock trail (with the giant shale rocks) has a river going down the trail on the lower part. We didn't ride the upper part above the 2nd gate but we couldn't see any snow. The lower main train had a ton of work done to it *cough tyler cough* and everything is super fast

Yeah I do ride galbraith a lot..but sometimes I enjoy a break from such freeride oriented trails.

Exit 38 always sounds fast

38 was freakin' epic. Saturday was stupid hot but great. Sunday was much better weather wise. The trails are running great (river-y on gate and warm-up though). A few places need some love (need to get a group to toss in an hour or two for some post-winter give-back) but man was it perfecto!

I think everyone ate poo at one point or another throughout the day.

Gate def. needs some clearing from branches and trees blocking the trail after the section of river. Didn't check out staboner... Too many CRT's and downed trees in the first section... HMO anyone?

Felt good to be on the bike for fun. First time riding there in probably 7 or 8 months. Only the 6th time back on the DH bike since last season... I need to ride more...

Let's bring tools out next time and put a little love into gate and boner.

...and how about not leaving boulders uprooted for me to land on next time! ass :)

look before you leap... nothing out there that will destroy you if you're just riding down. but there are a few things that will come up on you quick. park in the middle along the john wayne ironhorse trail.

yeah...true story :(

...I also wish I could be badass enough to eat it in that exact same spot and soak up all the sitting water just off the trail :)
