Actually the ride was ok at best when off the trail...I will NOT take the trails anymore this yr unless we get the epic bombing of snow...I rode a 20 mile stretch yesterday and it's gone and MEZZ will support that..Major slush, water holes rocks and bare spots.. The woods still had about 2 feet or so but I did hit a few stumps that were buried and one made me stop before I wanted to... A bunch in the group yesterday had tree, log, & stump problems..Maybe I'm spoiled but I do not plan on riding in these conditions anymore this year.. The woods are still ok but I've only got 6 or 7 rides in this yr compared with 20 or so last yr...The low snow has hurt all of our riding....I can say I had the most fun I've had all year playing and climbing in the trees, but we found a ton of not so hidden gems...
The cool part of the ride is we had first tracks on most of the ride (until we hit the trails..) Some of the spots hadn't been hit at all this year..
