The trails have begun to dry out in many areas and should improve even more with a couple more days of dry, warm weather predicted. Cold Spot, Hammer, Haycock Run, LOWER EWR, LOWER Jaywalk, and South Park overlooking the Tohickon are in generally good shape. Meanwhile, South Park in the cedars is beginning to dry as well in most areas.
Please consider avoiding UPPER Jaywalk right now (a lot of running water over parts of it nearer the dam - NOT a pleasant ride at the moment). UPPER EWR continues to be CLOSED due to continuing serious mud issues on its eastern end near the dam access road -continue using the LOWER EWR detour until further notice.
On a separate note, the RIDENOX Council worked on some drainage issues along the Upper Hammer on Sunday and noted that most riders respected the Council's request to ride elsewhere this weekend due to last Wednesday's storm. That substantial level of cooperation has really helped the majority of the trails avoid rutting and they have dried faster as a result.
