AKA Hero Dirt. Yes, your ideal conditions that you want to hit up first before any of your friends find out. Sure you want to keep it low key, but be a good trail steward and let your buddies know its time to shred.

Ridgecrest is a nice winding little singletrack connection for those days where you just don’t feel like grunting up the Central Ridge waterbars. Ridgecrest is popular with hikers, as it offers nice views of downtown and forms easy loops with the other Military Reserve trails.

Mud sticking to shoes before even getting on the trail. Take this as a good indication that Bucktail and Central Ridge will be bad as well.
