618 days ago - Talked to a friend today.... said Tony's was "as dry as a bone"... sick!!
595 days ago - rode it... totally dry
617 days ago - anyone ride this one all the way through?
622 days ago - There are at least 5 downed trees over the trail right now.... the trail itself isn't too bad, a few piles of snow but it is really the trees that are causing the problems.
597 days ago - This trail is good to go. There are two short wet spots, but they are over a lot of rocks so ruts don't seem to be a problem. Might be a good idea to hike a bike anyway.
575 days ago - My roomate Nate rode it today... still gotta wade through the water.. Still 3 ft deep
582 days ago - Anyone ride this lately? Is there still massive amounts of water at the bottom on the way to Brush Creek Rd?
595 days ago - Still had to pick up the bike today
595 days ago - One muddy spot but its small...

560 days ago - There are a couple gates that you need to cross on this trail, just make sure if they are closed when you get to them that they are closed when you ride away. Also, after the first jeep road descent, make sure that you take the first left - there is a sign, but it is in the trees and hard to see when you are going fast. Toward the end of the trail there is another left that is well-marked so make sure you read the trail signs. There are some spots where the singletrack gets braided at the bottom, just keep rolling and they all end up at the jeep road to Gothic. Make sure you go right towards Gothic rather than towards CB. The jeep road will go for 3ń of a mile before putting you on Gothic Rd where you will turn left and climb back to Mt. Crested Butte.
