Assessing the damage

The rain we received in North Texas this spring was just ridiculous and even though it's been a week since any rain has fallen we are still dealing with the after effects.  Pretty much all the trails in the DFW area are closed and will need some major work.  People keep posting pictures of the damage.

They are saying it will take months of trail work before Erwin is ridable again:

The NW Frisco trail will need some armoring and a ton of trail work too:


Northshore will be underwater for a couple more months until lake levels get back down:

Parts of the Rowlett Creek trail were actually washed away into the creek and will require major re-routes.

The list just keeps going on and on like this.  LB Houston, Knob Hills, Windmill Park, and Cedar Hill are all under water.  There is one trail that has opened but they only have a 6 mile loop of fireroads open.  The rest of the 20+ miles of single track are still shut down and will remain that way for a while.  It just sucks that 1000s of hours of work that went into these trails was washed away in a coupe of months.  It just sucks.

Unbelievable. So sorry for all of this. Hope things are calming down around there.
