Title: Does the north end of Twin Oaks flood?
Post by: kcpurcell on February 02, 2024, 07:34:30 AM
Is the north end of Twin Oaks, past the quarry, passable after rains like we've had?

It's always been dry weather when I've ridden that section.

Ken: just thinking about that; don't know the answer but I'm reluctant to ride the part of Twin Oaks where the road is broken up on a steep ascent and also the fast descent could be tricky.

Ken, That section of Twin Oaks can by by-passes if it looks bad after the rains.  We would continue along Old River to E Vista Way/Warmlands.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Tony.

There's just that low part before the ~200' climb up to Silverleaf that sometimes is a bit wet. However, I've never ridden it right on the heels of a rain, so unsure if it becomes impassable.

I would avoid it, especially if its new to some riders.  The low dirt section, northbound before the climb, could be pretty messy.  Also bad if the steep bumpy ascent is damp.  It's a long way from help.
