West Hartford Res Conditions?

[TheHare]

Anybody been out there? Current conditions? Does it dry quickly? Thanks.

In general it does not dry quickly, there's a lot of water holding dirt out there. That said, its probably one of the most popular places to ride and there will be many people riding there no matter what the conditions are... sorry a little bitterness there.

I have heard that conditions are really turning around and that Case is ready to ride. I suspect there will be spots here and there that you would have to walk, but generally Case drains pretty quickly. I'm thinking of hitting either Case or Middlesex tomorrow, but not sure.

Found this over at MTBR from earlier this week specific to whres:

I took my son for an Allycat ride yesterday on the paved loop at the W.htfd res. At one section the trail crosses the pavement and there were deep wide tire tracks in the singletrack.

I know everyone is chomping at the bit to get out on the trails, but now is when they are at their most fragile.
So STAY OFF THE TRAILS!!! until they have a chance to dry out and firm up.

I realize most everyone on the forum is more responsible, but I thought it should be said.

Thanks John. Planning for Sunday AM, but not sure where... Robinson is a mess...ice and muck.
