I also rode CSGA saturday and I Disagree. Just look at the parking lot, its still real wet and soft and its in the sun. Maybe 85% is good to go but there are still many really muddy spots and soft spots and stll even a few patches of ice.
Please give CSGA at least another few days of solid sun. The Ski area opens on Sunday the third and that usually dries out sooner.

Thanks to whoever cleared all those trees from the trail. Very much appreciated.

+1. Even after the ice is gone, the ground under it will be frozen for another week after that. It's not ready to ride yet. Saw a couple of cars with bikes on the back driving out of there Friday night while I was riding back roads.

Thursday 4/7 it was dry and hard pack. Only couple soft spots where soil is full-o-clay. Rain today not helping, but ground is thawed.

Did the triple today, Luton Park, SGA, Cannonsburg. State game area is already very sandy in the last section. Seen a lady with a bloody leg walking her bike from a fall there.

Did a double today, Egypt Valley then Luton. Parking lot almost full this afternoon and trail is great and sand is damp(won't last long)

sorry man, this spring sure s*cks!

Its a good thing for the sandy areas. If only it would stay that way but the humidity we receive in Michigan is ridiculous, so the sandiness returns quickly.

I'll be near GR Saturday, and I've got a short window of time to ride. I've never ridden SGA, the ski area or Luton, and i wondering which is "best" to hit up quickly. From the descriptions, it looks like the ski area is the most varied, especially if i want to mess around on the downhill stuff. Local opinions? Trail conditions if we keep getting rain?
I've ridden all the over the state and extensively in Ohio, PA and WV.
Thanks!

trails least affected by rain or dry the quickest in this order, Ski, Luton, Game Area. Each trail takes less than an hour per lap. The ski area has the most climbing, the Game Area has the most fast, flat (ok, three or four hills) and straight terrain and Luton is a twisty trail built by bikers for biking and built to IMBA standards (gentle ups and downs).

my priority would be Luton 1st, Ski 2nd, Game 3rd
