after our ride yesterday, one of the Park Rangers stopped by and we chatted for a bit.

he made it very clear that the bike trails and the horse trails are managed as a single entity...meaning, if the horse trails are not in condition to ride then the bike trails will remain closed. from their standpoint, it's the only way they can manage it.

with the freeze/thaw process taking place right now, responsible trail usage is vital to long-term sustainability of our trails. once the trails are completely frozen, the Ranger said they'd open the trails and keep them that way until things start to thaw in the spring.

thought I'd let everyone know, you know, for the future.....
