The river trail at Castlewood was very wet today. I turned around and headed back to the main park. The upper trails were fine since they are rocky and drain well. My only issue was riding Justin's trail and finding every single spider web. I felt so creepy crawly when I was done.

I do agree with singletrackmind that we do need to stay off of the river trail after a rain. All that happens is riders make the trail wider by riding around the mud.
