Latest Knoch Knolls Trail Conditions

Noting downed trees - GOOD
Noting damage, when it effects riding - GOOD
Noting trail surface conditions - GOOD
Noting flooding, excessive water or washouts on the trail - GOOD

Recommending riding elsewhere - NOT really "Knoch Knolls trail conditions"
Weather forecasting - NOT really "Knoch Knolls trail conditions"
Guessing or a gut feeling about the conditions - NOT!

Complaining about trail users (bikes, horses, runners, orienteers, geocashers, hikers, streakers, weirdos) - DO IT, BUT NOT HERE, post it in another Knoch Knolls topic.

Keeping it short and to the point - ALWAYS GOOD!

Old trail conditions reports will be removed periodically.

Center loop has some soft spots but is otherwise good to go, other than having some erosion channels carving thru the trail in a number of spots. East loop is dry.

There's lots of fully exposed roots that could do to be recovered before riders harm the trees – which will create some ill-will with the land managers. The singletrack is not fully embraced by them as it is....
