It's getting close. Just curious to see who on here will be coming down for the weekend. Also wanted to give a short report on conditions out at Shawnee because there are a couple things to note.
The biggest is that there are a couple pretty decent spots on Little Bear Big Spruce Road (just past the horse ranch, Sat AM course) where the road washed out and they replaced it with gravel only!! We've ridden it twice and it comes up without a lot of warning. And it's pretty rough. Other roads in the area are in typical condition.
Lamp Black Rd/trail is in rough shape as well. At one point late in the fall mackletree rd was closed and many people used lamp black as a thoroughfare. The gravel is bad right now, and they've brought in bank run in some spots that has added a lot of loose rocks to the mix. I've ran it 2 times in minimalist shoes and both times my feet were sore afterwards.
The lake water was 65 degrees.
See you in 2 weeks..
