Details:  Trail is dry and sandy in a number of areas. There is a tree down right after Fern gully. I was able to get under the tree and continue, but watch closely, it can sneak up on you.

Details:  Everything was nice and tacky this morning, including overlook and pine climb. The early morning dew on the tall grass near the trail head was like a shower, with the exception that the shower doesn't usually whip you in the face. It may need to be trimmed back at some point.

Details:  Trails were perfect tonight didnt se standing water in one spot and every trail was dry or slightly tacky. Also didn't find any downed trees anywhere, but i did skip Overlook and pine climb tonight. Some washout areas showing but nothing that needs immediate attention.

Details:  We had a descent amount of rain this morning, I noticed that the street was dry by my house so I thought I would go check it out. The trails weren't so dry. There are still puddles and it was way to hot to ride due to the heat index. I didn't even get across Battle Creek Road. I'd assume that would be just as wet.

Details:  Mostly OK and tacky but some spots too wet to ride. Picnic table loop is pretty wet in spots and I didn't even try The Luge based on the conditions at the top. Overlook trail is fine as is Big Wheezy, The Bowl and all of the Rec Center side. Barring any more rain, all should be good tomorrow.

Details:  it was raining mid-ride and it was hardly doing a thing to the trail...the sandy areas started clinging to my bike by the end. Should be fine to ride yet today.

Unfortunately, 2 other riders car's were broke into during the ride Glad they decided to not hit mine this time.

Details:  There were at least 5 others ahead of me, but this morning was just on the side of wet.

This big bad news is the ATV that was ripping it up last night (see other post)

Details:  Major downpour at BC at about 4:00 Sunday afternoon. Got caught out in it and the trails had 2-3" of running water on them by the time we made it back to the cars. It will take at least a day to dry.

Details:  Trail was pretty good this AM around 9:00, two small puddles, but fully rideable without leaving tracks. I'm sure it couldn't have absorbed much more water though, so I'd think lay off for a day and let it dry after the latest round of showers

Details:  Well the trail is in good shape, though plenty of low brush in the woods and a few sections of the trail are pretty cut up.

Details:  Trail is tacky. Short loop today so I'm not sure about the overlook or north rim, but everything else was nice. Thanks to the trail crew for trimming everything back and removing the trees.

Details:  6/30 pm. Tacky to Dry. Good condition. Watch for sand at bottoms of hills. Down trees are removed (thanks Don!). One remaining in the open area heading toward Picnic Table, but easy to get under.
