Use Caution On Lowman Loop!!!

fullsailbiker · 05-13-2009, 04:23 PM

The road crues are out "cleaning" up the shoulders of the roads and dragging a huge amount of crap onto the roads. There are turns with thick sand ALL THE WAY around the corner. You can usually stand it up for a sandy spot but there are places out there today that if you go in too fast for sand....you are going down. Little piles of gravel in odd places, it was hard to read and required a ton of restraint. Some of it you can't see until you are there and the cars tires have not pushed it out of their line yet so.....Use Caution.
Otherwise it was absolutely beautiful out there today! Wish one or two of you could'a come with.

It's been "hit or miss" conditions up there all year. The lack of run off, log trucks, deer, elk and a usually high likelyhood of passing Johnney Law make restraint a good idea up there at anytime of the year. Sorry I missed out. I was too busy.

The road up to the summit last weekend was crap, so I doubt that road will be good any time soon especially if we keep getting these rain/snow storms in.
