Did no trail work, just rode for three hours. Went to the Flow-easy™ trail system in the next city and wow were the trails blown out. It had gotten so much wider than last year or even a few months ago. Riders absolutely will not ride over roots and rocks bigger than 1.5 in. so they just make the singletrack 6-8 ft. wide, ridiculous.
Owl's Roost? Never ridden in W-S or Greensboro . . .
I like the other definition of "blown out" so much better - when a trail is steep and rugged and mother nature has eroded the fuck out it since the last time you rode it!

Yeah, Wild Turkey, Owl's Roost, and two others tonight. OR still had some ruts and roots to keep it bumpy in spots, but over all, neither of those two can really be called singletrack anymore. Zer0 chance of clipping a tree with wide bars.
The new Spitty with advance stabilization technology and gnar ready Minion knobs made anything slightly technical out right boring. Next time I go back over there,I'll put the Ardents on. At least I can two wheel drift through turns and roost their hand buffed baby smooth berms.

This describes every public trail back in charlottesville. The only moderately technical trails were on private land or hours away in national forest. Seems folks out here appreciate tech a little more which I love. Feel a bit like a newb in new terrain but I am excited to push my limits, albeit cautiously for my arthritic 42 year old ass.
