I didn’t have enough time to do Demo Forest like I wanted to so I thought I’d check out Dirt Alpine. I hadn’t done it since it reopened. What I didn’t realize was the new trail to replace the old bypass singletrack wasn’t open yet. It’s done but still closed allowing it to settle over the winter. Most of Dirt Alpine was in such good condition, it was fine for a road bike but I was surprised that the first, lower section, looked like it had been muddy and was still slightly wet. It was chillier than I thought it was going to be at Russian Ridge. I also forgot how steep Charquin Trail can be. By the time I got to the climbs, my legs were feeling tired. Maybe because I didn’t have lunch? Super fun though, on the way back to Dirt Alpine I took Meadow Trail which was pretty muddy and technical but also flowy and fun.
