    Sorry, must have slipped my mind b/c I never get to go riding on Wednesdays, but tonight is "LAMBA Night" at Beverly.

    LAMBA Night = Each Wed. LAMBA members gather at Beverly for group rides and sometimes eats and drinks.

    SBP is good to go. I only went straight to the typical wet spots, and everything looked...well...typical. Going to head out there for a ride here in a little bit.

    Talked to SVT. Trails are still too wet to ride. Darn! I guess it's a road ride, then!

    Has anyone been out to SBP since yesterday's storm? I want to go hiking (no I didn't accidentally hit "h" instead of "b") this morning with my wife and kid. If they are sloppy, it won't be much fun. If you've been out, please post a trail conditions update. Thanks!

    Meant to open the trails earlier, but forgot... As has already been stated, the trails are in GREAT shape.

    There are quite a few trees down. One on Rock Cut, one just at the exit of Rock Cut, one on Kettle Morraine, one where Sugar Bottom and Farmdale meet and the huge tree that has been falling on Blue Mound is really...really low. On Farmdale, between the Watermelon and Rock Cut, there is some stuff down that is still passable.

    There is a group that is heading out tomorrow around 5:30ish, let's ride!

    The park is open, but the City is putting in a gate at the main entrance. That means the parking lot of closed off to Vehicle traffic.

    SBP has taken a beating this year. A crazy amount of rain and people riding the trails when they shouldn't be, we have quite a few spots retaining water or just plain muddy. Please be cautious of these and when possible adhere to IMBA guidelines.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that the parking lot is only closed off for tonight while the concrete dries for the posts.

    Just rode this trail for the first time. Great job, FORK folks! :)

    Are there any loops in particular that are closed due to the mud? There are definitely a couple loops close to the parking lot that are the worst for muddy spots (don't know all the names offhand).

    Looks like these spots need either re-routing, bridging or even just a quick de-berm/shaping session. Most of them seem to be muddy due to lack of proper drainage. Rest of the trail is in perfect shape!

    The spots you are referring to have been duly noted on the Kickapoo Loop. The problems we are having this year on this loop can be traced back to riders on the trail when it was too wet, creating ruts, and the drainage water pooling in the ruts. Plans are currently in the works to repair this. Thanks for pointing it out, and hope you enjoyed the trails!

    Already posted as much in another thread, but if I ever manage to have the timing/scheduling work out I'll gladly have orders barked at me to shovel this or dig at that with a Madock! I know too well the battle to drum up volunteers to help maintain a trail that's already built. Seems like everyone wants to join up when you're cutting new trail or creating some new technical feature but de-berming don't get no love.

    haven't had a trail day there for about 3 months? no steward and so far no one to take charge and head up trail work. the races at other parks too presidence? majorly this year..... WOULD LOVE TO SEE A MAJOR TRAIL DAY AT SUNDERBRUCH IN THE NEAR FUTURE. TONS of rebuilding/reclaiming work can be done......
