CRAMBA: Holdridge

[WICCMB]

Rode the west and east loops on Saturday morning. Other than being very dry, the trails were in great shape. Kudos to the trail coordinator and maintenance team for keeping the trails well maintained & trimmed!

Love the new bridge on West near the end.

I wish it was a touch taller and a touch longer so you could rally it like a true wall ride. Otherwise, i agree, it's very nice.

Yeah ... the 2nd time over it I wished for more length on the berm. But the old bridge was on its last legs, so anything is better than the old bridge falling apart.

Rode the first 7 of East for the first time since early 2016 ... it seems to have more flow than I remember. Is that a figment of my imagination?

No it is not. I cannot recall when it happened, but there were some tweaks to the trail a few years ago by a rogue person wanting to get better flow in places....some of the tweaks remained, which made the trail a bit faster/flowier.

Other than that, it is just maintained much better, allowing better visibility (and perhaps wider lines in places). There has also been improvement to the trail at the end of Orchards just before the trail joins back up with the Orchards bypass....

It's still the trail that you know and love, just better!

What's up with the water pump not working?

What's up with the water pump not working?

Hopefully someone has some insight on that....it really bummed me out not being able to get water (before or) after the Grinder!

Someone posted in a FB thread about this that they're waiting on a part to fix it.

I may have dropped my iPhone in the parking lot at Holdridge tonight. I left the trail about 6:00. The west 3 trails and the north trail were all in good shape.

I'll be there tomorrow morning ... Will check

Much appreciated! I had it after the ride, in the parking lot.

I rode around the lot looking, didn't see anything.

Did this berm get lengthened? It seemed like the past couple times the length was fine, as opposed to the first time I rode it when it seemed awkwardly short.

Rode West and East loops on Sunday afternoon 9/23. Trail conditions are great right now. Kudos to the trail crew that keeps this trail so awesome! Leaves are just starting to fall.

There were a few minor fallen trees on the East loop that were either low hanging or already on the ground, but nothing I needed to get off the bike for. The only location that I specifically recall was a low hanging pair of branches on a downhill just after mile marker 13 (or was it 13.5?). I put my stomach on my seat and skimmed the branch with my camelback (I ride an XL, so others may not hit it).

Thorny Dog entrance was a slop fest. I stopped and turned around before the bridge, and just rode dirt roads. Not sure on the conditions of the other parts of the trail.
