Don't you know you're not supposed to ride the trails in the wet? ;)

I suppose Neds is best since it's virtually all rock...

Dean has done an amazing job over the past 3 years in turning Kirkford / Krinkem into a 3 season trail. Great drainage. You can ride that route after a monsoon and it's dry.

Old Pete has turned UOC pretty into a paved surface with good drainage.

Those two guys have just finshed transforming the Leopard trail from a 2K mud pit into a 3 season XC rip with some nice technical touches here and there.

They are now moving their tools up to 7th. so expect some improvements to it.

I hope and pray Digger keeps working on Ladies and his other trails and doesn't just let them go.

Upper and Lower Crippler are fantastic when wet.... also Bookwus...... bitches is good as well. I personally like doing loamy trails when wet. I find trails with lots of rock work that the rocks are really slick from the mud. Slows me down.

I am surprised you would say that. Lots of traffic on a wet loamy trail eventually turns the trail into a rut. That's why we have trails like UOC, CBC and Ned's. You either armour the heck out of the trail to keep it alive to or let it go so it is "beyond fucked up" (thanks Jarrett).

The triple crown, ryan's abyss,galloway line always seems weather quite well. t.c. gets soupy in 2 or 3 spots but 98% is great.
