Current Riding Conditions @ Lunch Loop Area in GJ?

2045 Views 16 Replies 13 Participants Last post by  hypokondriak
Hello GJ riders!
Can anyone tell me if any of the trails in the Lunch Loop area are dry enough (or snowpacked) to ride right now? I'll be passing through the area tomorrow afternoon.

If things are too muddy that's ok, I'll just bring my hiking boots. But ofcourse I would love to get my first ride of the year in!
Thanks,
Mike

In the past few days I've ridden Pet-E-Kes, Curt's Lane, Miramonte Rim, Raven's Ridge, High Noon, Coyote Ridge and both Alli's, all are OK. I would hesitate sending someone on some of the higher trails or trails with lots of shade or Northern exposure (Holy Cross). I would suspect that Eagle's Tail is good to go, probably the wing as well. Anyone with different trail updates? I'm really wondering about Gunny, but I think the new section on the North face could be iffy.
Gunnector has spots that are still a bit too soft on some of the north facing areas. The new reroute section in the middle of Gunny is almost certainly still a mess, though have not been on it.

Prenup going up is too soft in the N. facing areas too. Free Lunch is fine other than a couple minor soft spots.
Thanks for Beta! If the weather holds I guess I'll bring the bike!

Tried to ride the lower halves of Prime Cut & Kessel today, and as one would suspect, it is still pretty muddy out at 18 Road (also the bovines have rutted up the trails pretty good).

Rustler's Loop at the Loma Exit is in decent shape. You're still going to dirty your bike in a few muddy spots though.
Rode Mary's out to pizza point, it was dry the whole way. looking down at Horsethief, it looked wet and rutted out in spots.
I rode Petekes, Prenup, Lunch Line, Free Lunch, Pucker Up, Curts Lane today at lunch. All good! :thumbsup:
I've heard they are ready but haven't seen first hand. I'm heading there or koko sat hopefully.

How are Rt 18 trails looking?
I'm thinking about going Wed or Thurs.

Funken,

The wife and I will be there either sat or sun. Are you out there this weekend?
I rode Wednesday at LL - it was perfect. I expect 18 Rd will also be prime.

I'll be out there this weekend (mini TGR summit?) and I've never been there before. If you see an overweight bearded guy on a nomad or hanging out by a large silver F250 say hi.
Just rode them. Current conditions: supremely redonkulous. :)

Days off got changed... won't be there until next Fri or Sat.
If the weather holds, I might be game Fri. Rode Rt 18 and did a lap on FreeLunch/PuckerUp. Everything was riding sick!
Killer. Noah did you get your HD yet (or are you still planning to build)? I'm bringing mine over for it's first real test on the Lunch Loops on Friday.
