    Switzerland Trail

    Thought I would let the Boulder folk know, it's open enough to make it through. Super choppy, huge puddles and lots of good stuff. There is still snow/ice, but it's passable. Dirt bikes are 100% fine, you're gonna have to work hard with bigger bikes. The trails west of p2p are still snow packed.

    Looks like this week is kind of crappy, but I'd be up for it next weekend.

    I still want to find more places to ride that are clear. I know Left Hand is clear, but it's kind of hard on a 9fiddy. If anyone knows of other trails near Boulder, let me know.

    Re: Switzerland Trail

    Rollins looked pretty snow packed on our ride on Saturday. I don't think that even knobbies would make it too far.

    I would love to join too! Let me know when you guys are going to do more of a sumo friendly trail run.

    Thanks for the update, Patrick. What constitutes a "sumo-friendly" route?

    Sumo-Friendly is less than 6" mud or sugar sand

    Considering my bike is 436 lbs dry, and without knobbies; I think I can agree with those terms.
