I've got a pre-ride of nine mile and the plunge penciled in on my ToM training calendar at the end of March. Any chance that it will be ridable by then? Last report from beer_girl didn't sound too promising.

Nine Mile usually isn't clear until mid-late April at the earliest but this was a low snow pack year.

Thanks! Guess I'll need to revise my plans unless I hear otherwise.

Nine mile will be a while.
Rode the plunge yesterday from Darwin's.

Road still has lots of snow. Trail is completely clear. Two logs down across trail (very obvious).

I took "another road side attraction" to Darwin's (snow free but had to walk a section due to rot and trail work).

do you mean "another man's gold" (the trail below the road with the rail-log feature)? was there a pumptrack and an angry red-haired man-beast at the bottom?

Whoops my bad!
Clarklewis is correct!

Trail was Another man's gold

I need to add some trails and trail names beside those existing trails.
The names that come to mind are

"Another trailside distraction"

then across the road to

"One Woman's fold"

and then finish with the plunge (not the rip - as I am not man enough to do that!)
