July 24 ride… dusty, but I am from Vancouver and ride in a rain forest. I have never done the ride and for those seeking information on the ride… start with a small grunt up the hill, long flowing single track (very fun, but for evry force there is an equal and opposite force) and the start of the long climb back to the parking lot. Good thing this ride finihes with a short single track downhill section. Oh, it was about 90 up there today, hot and dry.
Update: 7.3.2010
It was awesome today! Cool, not too dusty at all…fantastic! Trail in great shape. Catherine and I rode it and loved every bit.
Rode it Sept. 10. A bit dusty in the corners, but otherwise pretty great.
Rode it last Friday. It’s a dusty mess, with 2 inches in the corners. Pray for rain.
Rode it yesterday – stellar conditions! Minimal dust, boat loads of Lupin(e).
Not dusty, totally clear of debris. Lupine and paintbrush and daisies lining the trail. Beautiful day. Trail is in perfect shape. Clear skies… we could see Adams, Ranier, St. Helens and Hood. Only one other rider.
