Post trail conditions and problem reports for the trails at Burchfield County Park

by **Zak** » March 25th, 2004, 1:43 pm

Howdy, Zak here, Trail Coordinator at Burchfield Park. Trail is currently closed, will post up when it officially opens.

For the record, while raking last weekend, noticed it is not frozen any longer, many worms and worm holes, but is very wet in low spots. Should be in great shape though by the time the trail opens for the season.

Still closed, believe me I will post as soon as it is officially open. I can't wait to ride either!!

Rock on, thanks for keeping us posted Zak. We should organize a HUGE groupride the first weekend the trail is open to kick off the new season

How close do you think it is to being rideable? Thanks again for all of your and the other area workers hard work to get it readyfor the masses. Oh yea, when do we get to build some new stuff? I'll post pics of my new drop that I built on the mid-state board tonight

I was out there two days ago and stuff was still pretty wet. I would probably guess at least two weeks before the ground is good condition. As for a group ride there to kick off the season, count me in!

It is not up to me when the trail is open, I can advise, but ultimately it is up to the park. Most of it is in great shape, but ICPD keeps it closed util they feel it is ok. They may even have a set date that they officially open. A group ride will have to be scheduled as soon as it opens, I agree. We will have it in great shape by then for sure.

New stunts/trail sections are scheduled for this season, just need to get approval. Right now my emphasis is getting the existing trail in shape for the season opening, then will concentrate on getting approval for new stuff. Skinnier (word?) new log rides are in the plan, and the modification of at least one existing stunt to make it skinnier is in the works. Also, a new trail section should get approved as soon as I walk the director trough the route. This should put our total mileage of advanced trail over 10 miles.

For the record, please do not ride the trail if it is closed, there have been a few out there already and have made some pretty good ruts on the wider doubletrack trail. Gives us a bad name, and looks terrible.

Anything else??

Burchfield was posted open this past week. The trail is raked and clear, just beware of the trail markers/signing, it needs some maintenance. I will be fixing the siging this coming weekend.

Enjoy!!!

Burchfield is very muddy and the trails on the western half of the park are flooded in areas... best to avoid until we get some nice dry weather![/quote]

what do the trails look like for this weekend?

by **Zak** » May 27th, 2004, 2:18 pm

Still underwater, especially if it rains tonight as predicted. Main doubletrack is fairly dry with only the usual trouble spots, but the advanced trail is underwater in several locations.
