is it o.k. to ride Theo still?

It looks like they are trying to keep people off of the trail at Lebanon so I'm assuming the same goes for Theo. Does anyone know if it is o.k. to ride Theo still?

In the early morning if it freezes overnight, or on a cold overcast day, it might be fine. Once the sun hits, regardless of temperature, there are many soft sections that turn to mud and already have some big ruts and trail widening (from riding around the mud) going on. Check the trail conditions thread here (http://www.morcmtb.org/forums/showthread.php?t=11411). Use your head. If it is soft, don't ride. Spread the word....

Eric's got it nailed. Unless we get a super cold spell, the trail should probably not be ridden until the frost is out of the ground.

In addition to posting "trail closed" signs, we are working with the city to see if they will allow something like Lebanon's orange snow fencing to close the trail more obviously. The Park Police will be enforcing any closures that happen. :) It is a wonderful thing to know the city is standing behind us in protecting our trails.

I think all trials will be unrideable soon if they are not already. Hopefully we get the trails conditions working soon. For now, go to the trail conditions thread for the given trail you might want to ride to see any updates.
