Haven't been on the bike since the Crossroads scramble.

It should be in the 30s...hopefully it won't get too sloppy.

Status: offline 		We went today. Got there around 11. It was fantastic!  We hit the river loop first and it was like someone paved it and took out all the bumps. As the day went on and the temp went up things got a little soft. We tried BT later on and it was a bit soft. Then we hit some of  the faster trails and I couldnt believe the speeds  compared to the summer in the same spots! Awsome ride.

BT is a bit more of a workout.

It just wasn't there...like Gary said,,,3rd gear straight through.
Never did that in the summer.

Stark Pond was also very fast...but some of the whoops past the open area are still soft and I almost pegged a tree.

I'm going back tomorrow.

Too low on the mountain was dirt/rocks. Too high was deep snow. We found enough in the middle to have fun.
Rode on a pond for the 1st time. One of our riders  got a little too happy and had a nice tank slapper. Ice is hard. LOL.

Status: offline 		FYI~

"We just received notice that the Stark Brook Bridge will be barricaded tomorrow (Thursday) and thus closed to all vehicular traffic.  The bridge has structural deficiencies and will be closed indefinitely.  All traffic to the Stark Pond Trailhead will now have to go in via Route 77 to Ray Road.  We’ll be working with DOT and the town to have the signage moved and also to look at what additional signage will be necessary for those who approach the now “old” access route via Winslow Road.  This effectively closes off Mansion Road as well.  It’s unclear at this time weather the gate at Winslow Road/Stark Lane will be kept closed or open.  We’ll likely put out a press release tomorrow with this notice.  Please pass the word on."

I received an email from the BoT regarding the bridge being closed indefinitely.

Status: offline 		yes .... the way 99% of the traffic gets into the park ...my guess is that people will start parking on the access road instead of going up and around and down ray road. any way to get an engineering report on why they closed it?? If they keep up the metal gates on the access rd it will turn the road into a drag strip
