Hello, Here's an update from DNR State Trails Coordinator Brigit Brown in regards to SECTIONS of the Military Ridge, Sugar River, and Badger Trails that are currently closed due to Wednesday's storm. Looks like there is a chance some sections may be closed through the weekend.
Amanda ________________________ Amanda White Associate Director Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin (608) 251-4456 [email protected] www.bfw.org Our staff is working on getting all the debris from the storms cleared, but we've got a fair amount of storm damage around here and just a handful of staff to deal with a pretty large area. We're pulling in folks from all around, but we've got a number of our rangers who have to work security at the capitol, and damage at other properties that has to be dealt with. Anyway, we're working as hard as we can to get everything cleared, but as of yesterday, parts of the Badger, Sugar River, and Military Ridge are closed. We put the word out (press release) yesterday through our "official" channels, but that's not to say that the news has reached everyone (or even many). There are two crews right now working to get Military Ridge open. They'll continue to work through the weekend (if needed) to get it done. Please know that there are several wash outs on the Military Ridge that we won't be able to fix right away but as we're clearing debris, we're marking the washouts with cones (some are holes, some not so obvious soft areas). -Brigit Brigit E.
