White Ranch Expedition

So here is just some of what the dumb asses created.
The trouble here is that with the melting drifts draining down the trail, they collect in these ruts. The running water just keeps making them deeper and deeper. I had another photo that showed about 1/4 mile of this with the water digging a trench, but the sun was at the wrong angle.
This is the kind of thing that gives us a bad name. Even with other mountain bikers. I was talking to a couple who like me, moved here from the east coast. They are also mountain bikers and were surpised that riders here did not have the same trail etiquette as on the east. Maybe it's less access issues, but still it is just common sense.
So, with temps in the 60's and 70's this coming week, I think WR will be nice and fast next weekend. Of course, some of the drifts in the shade will still be a little muddy. There's nothing wrong with dismounting and walking over those areas.
See ya on the trail!
