    Default Scp Winter Condition

    Just got done riding the trails at SCP. The south loop has some groomed trails except Tarmac which makes the riding easier. The north loop is tougher riding because the beat down snow is narrower. I did not ride SoCoPa or Cannon loop. Have Fun!!!!

    I beat down that snow on the north side last weekend. That was some slow riding. Hope to ride more of it this weekend.

    Just finished riding at SCP. Rode everything except Tarmac and Cannon. There were only a couple of slick spots. The trails actually rode easier than expected.

    There is a groomed loop on the south loop. We skipped tarmac and jumbo loops. The north loop also has a groomed loop and exits currently through the Buffalo Bill parking lot. We skip cannon, SoCoPa, and pine bowl. Bikes with tires smaller than 3.8 inches probably will not work very well on these snow covered trails because they will leave ruts and don't have enough traction to make it fun.

    There is a groomed trail on the north loop. Most slappers have been removed. The creek crossing is challenging and icy. We skipped cannon and SoCoPa. The south loop is rideable but rough in places because someone walked down some of the trail when it was soft and it hasn't been ridden as much. We skipped jumbo and tarmac.

    We rode it yesterday. It was awesome.
    You'd understand if you know what I was talking about.

    At SCP there is a groomed trail on the north loop. Most slappers have been removed. I put in a 15 inch wide board across the creek crossing Thursday evening. Hopefully this will make it easier and safer to cross. We skipped cannon and SoCoPa.
    The south loop is rideable but rough in some places and it hasn't been ridden as much. We skipped jumbo, skyles and tarmac. We currently think we have 5 or more miles of rideable trail.ENJOY!

    Just rode SCP this afternoon. Rode south loop except tarmac, jumbo and Skyles. I rode park view, pines and pine bowel on the north loop. Get out and enjoy before we get the 4-7 inches on Saturday.

    Glen and I rode the trails at SCP this afternoon. There is around 6 - 7 miles of groomed trails you can ride. The tarmac and skyles are not groom on the south side. The cannon, alien and bad neighborhood loops are also not groomed on the north side. Warmer day tomorrow, Have Fun!!!!

    Glen and I rode the trails at SCP yesterday afternoon. There is around 7 - 8 miles of groomed trails you can ride. The tarmac and jumbo are not currently groom or rode in on the south side. The cannon and alien loops are also not groomed on the north side. Get out and have fun before the weather turns the trails to mush.
