Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye yesterday. After riding in with Nevin and Becky to help with downed trees I decided to ride on out to Key rd. The way to Key rd was spent mostly clearing fallen limbs and debris. Came across 2 trees that will need a chainsaw, both w/in mile 1 of Key rd. One big rotten log has washed up on top of an old unused bridge and blocks the trail. 2 or 3 people may move it but it was too big for me. The other tree is w/in sight of the kiosk near the Pedestrian bridge.
I plan on riding this trail a lot more. It should dry out nice this week.

Hopefully, we'll see you at more of the work parties. I didn't see the tree near the kiosk, but was told it is probably a rider. As for the one near the unused bridge, we'll have to deal with it on our next ride out there. Thanks for the heads up. |

I rode 5 minutes into Turkey today. It was mostly the same since I was last there 4 yrs ago. There were some trees down including a huge one at 2.2 miles. There were a few detours but nothing major. Roots are popping up but very few wet spots.

Rode Turkey today before the rain moved in. There's a couple trees down after the giant one at the 2.2 mark. One around 5 miles in is very troublesome. Not too big but there's no way around, and it's laying at a height that makes it hard to get the bike over or under it. Use CAUTION on the bridges. The ones w/o the wire mesh are very slippery when there's moisture around. Overall in good shape.

Rode the trail out and back today. The trail overall is in good shape just needs wheels. If it could get ridden enough to get the pine straw and leaves off it it's got to be one of the best trails in the area. It's ashamed it doesn't get ridden more. I'm going to start making this my weekend spot to try and keep some wheels on it once the leaves start falling.

No, it was tempting to try but we knew it would take forever (if possible at all) with a little saw. We did get another one that was causing a ride around but I forgot to take a pic. |

The "Big One" on Turkey Creek has been cleared.
In fact the trail is clear from end to end. Only a couple small riders here and there.
The tread is also in good shape. No mud or water on the whole trail.

The "Big One" on Turkey Creek has been cleared. That's awesome. It really needed to come out and we couldn't do it with our saw. Thanks for posting! |

Rode out and back today and it's in great shape. Looks like it's been getting some wheels lately. Thanks for the work to clear it.
