Desperate



Desperate to get some riding in, Kevin, Stephen and myself hit Gambrill in foggy, damp, 45 degree temps. We scaled back the scope of our ride plans once we saw what the weather on the mountain was like. In the end, we ended up riding the yellow trail, with the extension. The trails were in good shape, only one section on the west side of the extension was sloppy. We also spent some time covering up a cut through that was starting form on the yellow extension. Some riders have been cutting straight down the hill, instead of following the switchback. Since it runs straight downhill, it will certainly erode if use continues. Not to mention, it probably cuts out nearly 1/8 mile of trail. Hopefully the diversion tactics we put in place do the job.
