Rode most of the park on Thursday AM from 10-12.. it was totally frozen and fast for the first hour and 45 min.. the last 15 it was starting to get a little soft...
Can't wait till spring! In meantime Pray for nights in the 20's and get your ride done before noon or deal with the SLOP.

my backyard is still looking soggy, though it's definitely better than it was earlier. But realistically I think the Wiss should wait until tomorrow.
Because I have a huge hill behind me and I'm close to the Wiss my yard is a good gauge as you can see tell how the moisture is draining off. But I haven't witnessed the trails first hand.

Sorry this is so late, but I rode from the pavillion north on the yellow to Wises Mill (short ride as I was with a friend on his first mtb ride!) and the trails were fair to good conditions.

Rode about 5PM today from the Monster all the way to the inn, and everything seemed pretty dry. A few wet spots, the usual random downed tree, and usually pretty muddy under areas of heavy leaves, but very doable today.

Rode last night, and really great (3/13). Only the usual (Indian Head side) water spots.

Trails are great right now. Dry except in the usual trouble spots. Pic on my main flickr page (not in wiss set yet).

Had some riders show up at my house today to go ride. I woke up late and when I saw it had rained I was skeptical. Shortly after gearing up the sun poked out and the trails turned out to be in good condition considering it rained last night. Wiss dries out fast once spring time is here and today was a good sample.

Trails were great today... who knows what this snow they're calling for is going to do (hopefully nothing).

The wiss is awesome. We just got back from riding in Fruita, Grand Junction, and Kokapelli for 5 days, and had an awesome ride, right here in Wiss. Life is good!

Did an early AM ride this morning and conditions are outstanding. A little tacky in some spots with a few slippery roots. This is perfect riding weather!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally agree Tom. While Fruita is amazing riding by all means and definitions, it has nothing on the WISS! This is some of the best riding in the world. Yea that's right I said it!!!!

The trails were sweet today, but kind of gross in a couple places. Warning, disgusting descriptions follow...
First, here's a thank you to the considerate dog owner who left the pile of diarrhea right in the middle of the trail which proceeded to end up all over my bike... tires, downtube, front and rear derailleurs, rear shock, chainstays, seat... you name it. My buddies made me ride in the back of the group for the rest of the day because even after trying to get it clean, it was still leaving a stench cloud in my wake. So thanks for that. Say hi to karma for me when you step out in your backyard in your barefeet and a pile of it squishes through your toes.
The most disgusting thing today, though, was the remains of a deer right on the middle of the trail leading up to Demo 2. The first thing we came up was the pelvis and leg bones, splayed right across the trail like a warning. A warning of the worst to come: the head and full spine of the deer spread across the trail about 20 feet further. Man, it was barftastic. We took a really long stick and dragged it all off the trail. It was pretty unpleasant.

Oh man, that is heinous. Hope you can get the bike cleaned up. I know I've had dog sh!t in my tyres, on numerous occasions (my bike seeks this stuff out for whatever reason), and despite the most rigorous scrubbing, that distinctive aroma just seems to hang around.
In any case, I am glad I decided to ride the east side of the park today! That deer story sounds like something out of Predator

What a painful read. Dog shit happens to all of us sooner or later, but the deer carcus is pretty crazy. Rode on the east side today as well. Trails are mint.
Tacky and fast.
Good times.

Holy crap I saw the deer carcus too! I pretty much rode by it as quickly as possible and didnt stop as the smell was pretty bad. I was going to stop and move it but then I thought to myself 'you are here early and by yourself, whatever did that to that carcus, its around in the park somewhere'. that thought got me moving again pretty quickly. didn spy the 'rhea though, thankfully.
I have the next two days off, cant wait to ride the next two mornings.

That's funny about the carcus. I saw (actually smelled it first) on 7am Friday morning. Thought I'd leave it there to see if it would generate some chatter on here.........The ground hogs, possums, racoons and all nocturnal things picked it dry!!! Figured a car hit it up on Henry Ave and it rolled over the bank.............So much for the deer cull

that's a pretty gross read Repoman, that's just uncool that someone let their dog crap & not curb it. Similarly, I have some issues w/horses dropping loads in the middle of trails & nobody cleans it up. I used to not care untill last year when I was riding w/someone out there & the guy couldn't avoid a loaf. His tires flung horse crap behind him & onto me while I was just getting my camelbak straw into my mouth. I was practically hurling or dry heaving the next 4 sections on the trail..nasty!
I saw that deer too after my ride w/LC.. I didn't smell anything when I went through at the time though or maybe I did & thought it was my own?
