Stewart State Forest - Perfect for riding! by Noyourfacedoes
January 14, 2012
Very crunchy and a million ice spines under every piece of dirt. We rode 17+ miles in the COLD. All of our water tubes froze and refroze every ten minutes. I found if I tucked my camelback tube into my shirt, it would thaw and I could drink again, but if I forgot to retuck it in it would be frozen sld in minutes! Riding the trails I felt like a giant crusher coming through with all the ice rays crushing beneath me, it was loud. A distinctly winter trail sound. Is this at all bad for the trails?
Finally hunting season has wound down to only bobcats and pheasants and such things. The nice hunters we spoke with said that the guns and buckshot they were carrying could only hurt someone up to 20 ft away and at 30 ft it would almost be funny to get shot, maybe they weren't that causal, but they put us at ease before we rode into Stewart. They are not alowed to shoot towards any trails or roads and it seems they can only go out in large open fields to hunt.
Graham Hills Park - Damp but rideable by spilth
January 7, 2012
Rode there around noon and the park was starting to get a bit greasy as it was warm this weekend. By the time we were leaving (around 2) it was starting to get cold again. Yellow and Blue were in decent shape but definitely take it easy on Snaggle - lots of moist spots that should be ridde with care (for both the rider and the trail)

Stephens SP is in the best conditions I've seen in a long time. It's completely dry. With good weather coming this weekend (1/7/12), I'd say go get some.
Taconic-Hereford Multiple Use Area (909) - Perfect for riding! by jimbo

909 trails in great shape! Just a bit of frost heaves, especially on the jeep trails but the singletrack is holding up nicely.
