Jane Addams Trail - Condition today?

Anyone ride the trail? Is the snow off and is it generally passable?

Thanks in advance.

Doubt it. Dirt and gravel on the Chitown north side aren’t even ready. Give it a week, I think ... this is a significant but highly plausible guess about trail conditions near the Wisconsin border . If you like mud and unmelted snow go for it.

Okay, so we rode the trail today - from Wes Block to the Wisconsin State Line (State Line road/Badger Trail.)

Wasn't horrible but certainly wasn't ready for prime time. Stayed toward the sides so as not to create ruts. Generally pretty wet and soft.

All-in, was a great ride. Next time, we ride all the way to Madison, spend the night and ride back. But, we can wait for a few months (and a vaccine) for that.
