LC has numerous small greasy spots. IMHO, I’d give it another day before riding. It’ll be hero dirt w/no damage to the trail tomorrow night (provided forecast is accurate).

Grade reversals and berms doing a great job on many old trouble spots.Thanks, all, for that great work. I've got to make it out to a work session soon to learn the finer points of construction. Let me know if going out on something other than a Wednesday eve as I always seem to be meetinged up those nights...

Are you gonna get it with your handsaw?

7-8' diameter easy. Two cut chainsaw job for sure!
Rest of trail is in great shape!

My two cents: I like the re-worked trail sections at Ft. Ben.
Fixing wet areas or changing a turn radius to improve flow and cut out some of the worst "jankies" works for me. And I like all the new alternate routes and rock-overs added this year.
Now, packing dirt around roots or leaving "craters" in plain sight by the trail are clearly the work of non-HMBA folk and I'll second what David K, Doe and Blum said on that count.
It may just be the seven month layoff getting the clavicle to heal, but dang riding those trails is fun. Not perfect, or what I'd want in every respect, but darn fun.
In the end, I'm just so thankful to all those who lobbied, designed, built and maintain the trails that I get to so conveniently ride.
Hope my schedule allows me to get back out soon for some maintenance sessions or - dare I hope - some new trail construction at the Fort. Until then, happy trails, all.

Hole filled w/gravel behind barracks looked/rode great this morn. If that's a sustainable fix let me know and I can try to fix the six or so other small spots holding water. I'll try to come by Thursday morn w/rhino to pull drains on those. Really like the re-route by fire road on LC - thanks! Otherwise trail appears solid yeller to me (tho wish I had more repair experience under my belt to tell for sure...).
