High Anxiety has a section between the two gully crossings that is really nasty day of and day after rain. Usually by the second day it is the most amazing velcro mud... actually sounds a bit like velcro as you roll but tires pick nothing up.


I experienced that "velcro mud" my last time out. Very strange; I've never seen anything like it elsewhere.

It's taking longer than a few days for that puddle and mud to dry out this time. It was still almost as wet as it was last Sunday. Further down where you get to the intersection in the trail, the bottom of the turn to the right was full of water. I ended up making a left, looping over to Strathmore and then followed the dirt road along the lakes. Pretty wet and some good puddles on the road but rideable at least. Overall, the riding out there is epic right now.

Lower part of blazing saddles is more than a puddle right now, quite a few water crossings to be made. Looks like quite a bit of water has collected in a couple of spots. It's rideable but could use more time to dry out. Problem is that water is collecting in the lower spots in the middle of the road and has no where to go.

Has anyone ridden High Anxiety to No Flow to Slot Car/Rebel Run since the big rain?

Just rode that yesterday. Pretty much all good, a bit loose and some ruts going down Slot Car and muddy by the water crossings but other than that just fine.
