Revised Condition description

Condition:

Dry/Packed

On my previous report, I missed changing the "Condition" field from dry. Even when very dry, the soils at RPR pack well.

Right now, the trail is dry-ish and packed with just the right moisture contet to offer a perfect ride. There are a few wet spots where water is still emerging from the rock and small springs.

In the few spots where the soils are wet, they are of such high mineral / low organic content that they are firm and packed.

On the solid rock surfaces, even in the few areas where they are wet, the granite/gniess grippy. "The Gniess is Nice" Amazing when you are used to limestone.

Our Trail Mission...

Build. Respect. Ride.

These are words that ARR believes and we strive to demonstrate this belief by giving back though trail maintenance and advocacy efforts and we are proud to be associated with the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) and their efforts towards greater trail access.

We do this for our love of riding and because we want to help keep trails open and to see new trails built. Not just for ourselves but for all trail users, this generation and the next. We are strong supporters of the IMBA rules of the trail and encourage every trail user to know and follow these rules which are available on this website and at www.imba.com.

Be a responsible rider, respect the trail and fellow trail users and support organizations that work to preserve access and development of trails everywhere.
