If you feel the trails are to wet or they are perfect post that below.
This is not a thread for chit chat so please keep it simple. Other posts that are not targeted towards trail conditions will be deleted.
Even though the dates are on the threads please post the dates and time anyways because some people have the wrong settings in their profile.
– Date/time
– Trail section you rode
– Condition of the trails
This should work out for everyone.

Ridge: Damp/tacky with some greasy sections due to leaves. The usual puddles.
Catalyst: Damp/tacky. Switchback section still a bit spongy, but not messy.
Upper PA: Surprisingly dry. Some dampness. Few puddles.
Overall trails were ok to good. Barring any rain, should be mint tomorrow afternoon.

(sorry, don’t know the trail names…)
Conditions pretty much perfect. Most trails just slightly damp, not greasy. Rocks and roots dry. Fast riding today, and visibility is beginning to open up as the leaves fall.
My loop was from the Go Train crossing up to the Loblaws trailhead then down to the northern parking lot. Then along the fast riverside trail to the dirt jumps and back to the Go Train tracks and the Don trail.
The only mucky bit was the swamp under the very low railroad bridge.
The riverside trail (what is it called?) is spectacularly beautiful at the moment because the sumacs are all turning red and the vines turning yellow.

PA in prime shape. Mudspots in the usual places but the trail doesn’t seem wet or slippery at all.
