Greetings,

While riding Al Sabo last Sunday (Sept 7) a buddy and I came across an area of glass about 1/4 mi into Atwater. It was about 20ft long and covered most of the trail. We spent about 20 min picking it up. Luckily neither one of us had a flat. Some of the pieces were pretty deep. I had ridden the trail on Friday and certain it wasn't there. All the pieces were of different colors which makes me think the glass was brought there. I do not get it.

Does the Allegan State Game Area stay open to riding thruout the hunting seasons? A thread concerning CSGA states that all game areas close for hunting season but there is no mention of that here concerning Allegan.

The ski trails at the ASGA are closed to biking from Oct 1-Jan and whenever there is snow on them.

Not to mention the 9 inches of rain that we just got. I am sure the trails are a mess all across the state.

I'd like to see ASGA have its own page on the trail conditions site if possible.... just a thought.

How's the conditions?

Thinking of heading out there today, 3pm if anyone's up for it.

I agree to ASGA having its own page.

I'd bet that it drains well, except maybe down by that creek area. The south loop was good last Weds., but the north loop was rough. I keep running over thorns! :evil:

The last two times I rode there I came home with a flat front tire.

I'd ride with you, but I work until 5 and I think I'm going to try CSA tonight. Have a good ride.

Put my vote in for the ASGA thread as well. Duotone, we got a ton of rain over the weekend....but the trail is sand based. Paydirt is right....the trail should drain good except for the low area on the south loop. I rode Yankee last night and you couldnt even tell that it rained. :wink:

Let us know how it goes.....I would love to ride tonight....but my wife works late and the girls have dance.

Wasn't able to get to ASGA last week, I'll be there today and again Friday noon ish.

Anyone in?

Went there today and it's in good shape... cleared a full loop and was heading out for another when I saw my front tire was loosing air, fast.

I'm fighting a chest cold so I packed it up. I'm not going Friday anymore... 2 rides here, 2 flats are 2 much for me! Here are a few pics.

The DNR has closed the Allegan State Game area mountain bike trail from Oct 1 -Jan 1 for hunting season.

I did a couple laps through Al Sabo today. Other than the sand just before the end-of-trail climb, the trail was in very good shape. Some slippery mud here and there, but that should be gone soon. Happy riding.

I was out at Al Sabo today ,10-28, and want to give everyone a heads up. Theres a good sized tree down in the first down hill section. Be careful, everyone usually has a good head of steam going through there.

Not true! I just rode it today. It is true that there are people with dogs (usually not on a leash) but MTBikers share it too. I can understand it might not be worth the drive from GR but I love it as a second backyard. Watch out for the big tree down on the fastest downhill part. I might bring my chainsaw next time. Mostly fast but a little muddy today.
