Keep a look out for several deep "ruts" (maybe 8" wide and 8" deep) running across the trail at and parallel with drives crossing (east side of crossing drive) the trail between Hartsburg and Hermann (sorry, I don't have the mile markers). They are not well marked if at all, and I was on top of them before I knew it and just managed to slow and stand off the seat. They are big enough to damage your bike or throw you off if you are not careful.

The biggest one we encountered was between Mile Marker 134 and 135. It was a doozy but we got around it by getting on north side of trail. Of course you have to see it in time. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
