Five Rivers Route Conditions

I've had eyeballs on the Five Rivers 300k route since the series of storms that came through SoCal last month. There isn't any damage to the bike trails or roads on this route.

At this time (Sunday Feb 24th) there is some sand and dry mud on the trail in some underpasses and on the north end of the Rio Hondo trail (see video). These hazards can be ridden with 28mm tires by a rider with average bike handling skills (me). Parks and Recreation has done a good job of cleaning up the mud and debris from the storms.

The only hazard I need to bring your attention is an unavoidable hole next to a telephone pole on the dirt section as we approach the Rio Hondo trail head at about mile 97. Please take extra care on this dirt stretch.

Last week there were several inconveniently closed gates across the San Diego creek trail, but they were not difficult to circumvent and I don't expect them to be closed on the 2nd.
