The last mile of dirt road, after Quick Link/Master Link is a hike and bike because the snow is too deep and is really icy and rutted. There was an insignificant amount of snow on the trail itself, so snow shouldn’t be a factor in your decision to ride.

However, Preston has a ton of water on it and it has a lot of mud holes at the base of some strategic rollers. Worried that riding through the mud is going to create a lot of trail maintenance for crews. There were several big trees across the trail.

Silent Swamp has a 100 foot tree laying lengthwise in the trail. That is going to be a multi-person crew to remove that.

Ideally, Preston needs more time to dry out.
