Oct 5 5-7pm
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.
the flats…and in the middle it’s refered to as the beach…then the dirtcamp….and the dj’s
sounds like good timing. i’m coming home tomorow! is there leaves all over thr trails hiding little obstacles. when i left the leaves were just starting to fall.

Sat Oct 21 4 to 6pm, rode the ridgenorth of Loblaws, Catalyst, the flats and DJ’s all were good. Lots of leaves down on Cat., but traction was still good. We only saw two other riders the whole time.
