WaterDog – Wet n’ Fun

WaterD og Creek

Park Condition: Moist – Recently Cut Back

Riding Condition: Fast

Population: Crowded

I got to ride Water Dog today after work.  It’s nice and green right now with enough water and mud to keep things interesting but definitely ride-able.   Most of the park is still moist enough to be really sticky, but you have to watch out for mud spots in the tight corners.

I don’t have GPS data for this ride because my Garmin is still in transit.  Hopefully It’ll come in by next week and I’ll have some charts to share for my upcoming Henry Coe ride.

Wednesday nights are usually packed at the dog, and this was no exception.  A very large group from Passion Trail Bikes kept me stopped for a few minutes, but they’re nice guys so I really don’t mind.

Someone has recently cut back the brush which was desperately needed.  This is the first time in well over a year I didn’t get whacked in the face coming down the switchbacks on Finch trail.

Also of of note is a new section on the top of Finch that connects the top of the switchbacks to the very top of Finch Trail.  This is a recently cut trail and its still pretty tight so if you’re highly susceptible to poison oak you might want to avoid it.
