    Looks like the BST is pretty dry

    So i was up at Red Butte last friday and it looked as though the trail was pretty dry and there were some riders and plenty of runners. I think I may hit up the trail tommorow afternoon if it isn't too windy and try to ride it a bit. I also looked on motionbased and it looked as people have been riding it and saying that there are only a few muddy spots in the canyons. Has anyone ridden this yet? Or been out to ride? Time for Tuesday night rides to get rolling with Daylight savings this weekend!!

    This was from hiking on Friday. Still quite a bit of packed snow, just a little mud. This was the ogden section

    SLC BST?

    From the news this evening. Short sleeves, short pants, no snow, probably on the BST above SLC . . .

    I tried the Kaysville/Fruit Heights section of the BST this afternoon south of the Adams Canyon trail. It is still covered with 6-9 inches of snow on about half the trail (north slopes). The other half is everywhere from dry to really muddy. I wouldn't recommend riding it just yet.

    Good rule of thumb...when the houses in the surrounding valley and benches still have snow, or you look out the window and see something white on the benches....it's snow..... Sorry I couldn't resist..

    shoreline trail is pretty good north of 12th in Ogden
    I rode it Sunday to the nature center around 1100 N
    I used to be concerned about my apathy, but now I don't care anymore.

    How did the tires handle that? Come out with some punctures? I stopped riding that section because I was so sick of the goat heads along there, even when I was running stans I would run into trouble here and there because there were som many! This warm weather should clear out alot of that snow up on the bench, untill then I guess I will stick to the road and my trainer to get ready for some kick ass biking.

    I took these on Sat after hiking in from the East Mtn Wilderness trailhead. Most the trail is dry with the exceptions being the parts pictured below. People have been riding it as you see, but I think it will be mostly good if the weather stays warm all week.

    no punctures, surprisingly
    I rode a little ways yesterday from the Jumpoff trailhead, and still have air in my tires....I can hardly believe it. Last spring it was 3 rides, 3 flats.

    I'm just so happy as hell to be outside on a trail, that repairing flats wouldn't keep me home at this point.
