I the Capital City Trail last night from Blair Street out to Dempsey Road, and most of it was fine -- a few patches of ice, but nothing unrideable, even without studded tires -- except for about 30 feet right before the Starkweather Creek bridge. That stretch was solidly ice-covered. I couldn't ride on it (though I suppose I could have survived with studded tires), and I could hardly walk on the ice.
The path might be salted or sanded today, but last night that one stretch was impassable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff A - DNR Schimpff" <[email protected]> To: [email protected], [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 4, 2012 2:43:00 PM Subject: Re: [Bikies] Path conditions Most of the UW Lakeshore Path is rideable, except for a couple very short icy patches that I would recommend walking around. Also avoid the paved shoreline in the Hoofers area - frozen wave splash from the big wind a few days ago is very nasty.

Blackhawk and at least some portions of the SouthWest path were salted, and seem be melting off. But the Badger Trail (South of the CapCity trail ) is pretty gnarly, even with fat, studded tires. whats it like over there on the Easty side? -darin _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.danenet.org/listinfo.cgi/bikies-danenet.org
