Western: Robinette's

[the Putti]

The doors were locked. No cars in the parking lot.

Ahhh....yes, the store is closed on Sunday and Monday but you can still ride. At the trail head on the north side of 4 Mile Rd there is a kiosk with a supply of liability release forms and a drop box (an iron pipe with a slot in it similar to many state campground registration setups). Drop your liability release and a $3 contribution in the slot and go riding. Have fun!

Ahhh... thanks for the info!! No one's ever accused me of being the sharpest tool in the shed.

Holy Crap... got totally owned today out there... apparent I don't have the skills to ride here yet. Oh and I lost my freakin car keys.

As far as the trail goes, there are at least 3 trees across the trail in various locations.

I went to Robinette's for the first time tonight in a group of 8 riders. There were lots of surprises, from steep uphills around a sharp corner to a massive dropoff (wiped out one of our riders) to a very long fast downhill with bumps at the bottom (ate two of our riders), to some grass riding.

It's a fun trail that I'll return to, though it won't be at the top of my rotation.

I wish we had known someone had lost their keys - we would have helped to look.

trail update?

I was out there yesterday over my lunch hour. There were two trees down (they have been there for a while), one on the first loop out from the orchard and one on the second. There was sand in the typical areas and the trail was just wet enough that I had to sit to climb, otherwise I would lose traction.

Rode the trail today. I haven't got out for a few weeks now (uhhhhh, maybe more like 8...lol) and I haven't ridden this trail since the start of the summer, but its in fairly good condition. Its a bit soggy and muddy in some places, but that makes it even better...IMO. There is (still) a tree down in the first section (about a mile in) and there has been a fair amount of run-off on the steep hills, so the roots are a challenge and especially when they're damp and slippery. I had totally forgotten about some of the steep uphill sections and the crazy ass downhill 'drop' around the fallen tree - I took the alternate trail for the first time today. *beep*, I think that route is more challenging than the original trail!! All in all, a great trail considering its a 10 min drive from where I live

Went out today for two full circuits - it was a perfect day. The trail is in good condition, except for the large tree that is still down in the second wooded section (the most northerly loop), which you have to dismount to get over. There are a few other smaller trees down across the trail in the third and fourth wooded sections, but you can ride/jump over these! It was great to see some other people out on the trail too!

I lost a Bontrager mini pump out there last week. Let me know if you found it

Same. Trail was great lotta debris still from no riders but oh well. Thanks to whoever put in that reroute around endo drop, its a little rough but better than dropping 5' into a pile of debris . Trail is clear and marked.

Sounds like the trail got dumbed down to me.

Because you spoke without knowing if the re-route is just as technical. Thats twice for you, I was hoping you would learn by now.
