The trails are currently rideable, but there are some areas where leaves are covering most of the trail surface. We haven't had a chance to rake the South loop and it will be hard to follow even if you have ridden it before. Most of the North loop has been raked. If you want to ride before we start, go for it. Some of the trails will be soft as they are only a few weeks old. Keep a lookout on NLE2 (see map) as there is one berm that is a work in progress which we plan on finishing during the trail day.
I have uploaded a map of the trail system for those who are unfamiliar with it. Illiniwek Trail Map
Unfortunately, I won't be able to join a morning ride to act a a guide.
