Alafia / Boyette Conditions?
« on: August 28, 2009, 08:14:35 PM »
Thinking about driving up from the south either Sat or Sun morning. Have you guys had a lot of rain? How are the trails riding? Any info is much appreciated. We are flooded out down here.

The entire back section of Boyette is closed, but the rest isn't too bad. Rode last Saturday and had a great time. Rode Boyette the last two weekends as Alafia seemed to be trying to maim or kill me.

boyette will be packed today with a SWAMP ride and the fact that Alafia is in bad shape all around.

I am going to Boyette after I finish some things here at the office. I'm gonna ride solo though. I want some miles and the ribs are still healing....blues and the quadrants I think should be enough and they should be in good shape.......

I squeezed in 1 hour between thunderstorms. I rode Loch ness, Inner LN, Spider Berm, The Quadrants, palmetto cable, randy's trail...I think thats it.
 They were all fine, wet but ridable. I am still healing from broken ribs so stayed away from N&S abyss and Pandemonium. I didnt ride ride Golf cart or any trails out that way....it started POURING about 10 am. There was a group ride still out when I got back to the lot....they may have attempted more than I did.......
Hope that helps!
Still worth the trip IMO.
