Anyone riding the trail in January? I assume cold weather, so I can deal with that. But I wonder about trail condition during the winter. Anyone been on it this month? Is it kept in pretty good shape, even after snow such as we've been having this winter?

I hiked 22 miles on it one day last week on the east end of the trail near Augusta and it was very wet. I would not take a bike on it yet, but I did see some bike tracks indicating that there were a few people on it recently.

Attempted a ride from Calhoun to Windsor on Sunday. Trail was still covered in snow. We ended up riding around the town of Clinton, not much traffic, roads were fairly dry.

I'm at the 110 mile mark and have seen three riders in the last week and the tracks of two others. One that I saw had full panniers and looked to be a thru rider. He had gotten off the trail to ride the pavement from 110 east. He was on about 38c tires and a cross style bike. The tracks I've seen are mountain bike and sinking in OVER 1/2 inch. They also appeared to wander some so I'm thinking they were being pushed sideways some by the softness. Now if this sounds like hard riding, probably so. I have however seen more Bald Eagles than riders. HUGE flocks of geese and quite a variety of other wildlife. I have only been walking but should have the bike out Wednesday.

On Sunday (1/17) I got on trail at Page Ave. I started to head west but it was very wet. So I turned around and headed east towards St Charles, but it was all but impassable due to mud. It is best to stay off the trail until it gets drier.
