Looking for any reports on current trail conditions.
A small group of us
Are riding from hermann to st Louis on 1/30
I know it is going to warm a bit towards fri but not
sure this will be enough to clear the trails.
Appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'm a regular rider, and I work near the Weldon Spring trailhead. That stretch has heavy tree cover, so combined with the eight inches of snow on the ground right now, I don't think you'll be able to navigate through there.

If you'd like, I can do a physical check at Weldon Spring later this week.

If your going to be out there that would be great! It looks like thurs - sun are going to
be close to forty. Hoping it will clear the trail. Thanks again!

Be prepared for some very soft trail surfaces due to the melting snow soaking under the trail surface, freezing at night and melting again the next day. It's like riding through quick sand.

That quick sandy grit can be pretty abrasive on chains, gears, wheel rims, etc.
