<p>South of 105th Until the End its completely clear of snow/slush. Minimal detritus, normal trail riding attention necessary. </p>

<p>Over the weekend I rode the trail between 87th and 121st. Trail conditions were generally excellent. </p>
<p>Other than a small amount of broken glass right at 111th St. (most of which I picked up), that whole length of trail was pretty much free of broken glass. Thank you Chicago Park District!</p>

<p>I rode the trail this morning from 105th to 111th. Except for a few little bits of glass, the trail surface was REALLY CLEAN. :)<br/><br/>What have you seen on your recent rides on the trail?<br/><br/>P.S. 107th St. is CLOSED to traffic east of the trail (by Jackie Robinson Park). Looks like a continuation of the water/sewer construction that's been done further east over the last 2 years.</p>

<p>Beverly Bike Club rode the trail yesterday evening.</p>
<p>Needing vegetation cut back from the trail at the 119th street intersection.</p>
<p>Much glass south of 115th. And check the streetlights above, some glass looked white, like it was broken from the lamps overhead.</p>

<p>Last week I rode the trail from 105th to Whistler Woods and back. There was a minimal amount of broken glass in a few locations. Overall it was pretty clean. Had reasonable crossings at 127th St. thanks to the speed cameras. </p>

<p>On Saturday morning, the trail was mostly clear of snow from 91st to 87th and 91st to 95th, but still had snow north of 87th. I haven't seen it south of 105th lately. Does anyone have a current condition report south of 105th?</p>

<p>Rode Jan 19, on the way home from Slow Roll ride to Bog Marsh. Trail is salted from 105th to 119th. New street lights installed last fall.</p>

<p>Many passes this week, more detailed observations:</p>
<p>Just north of 95th St, the brush is poised to grow onto the west lane of the trail this spring. </p>
<p>Near 105th St, we have bushes matted down by winter storms that are encroaching on the trail, needs some workday love.</p>
<p>A pine tree beginning to overhang from private property, just south of 127th St. A slight duck suffices.</p>
<p>More glass has appeared, 105th, 116th 120th and then some. Streetsweepers are in high demand…</p>

<p>I rode the entire trail on April 4. Some glass near 120th and 116th St; easily navigable. And no potholes.</p>
<p>On March 10, I rode from Dan Ryan Woods to 127th. Interestingly, the City segment was plowed and clear while the FPDCC property was wild. Walked my bike from 83rd to 91st in heavy 10 inch snow.</p>
<p>See you on May 17.</p>

<p>Thanks for the update Brian!<br/><br/>Wow, the south end was actually rideable? I'm surprised and impressed. Haven't seen Whistler Woods recently. The Dan Woods section has been snow covered in recent weeks. Some folks have been cross country skiing there. Good winter use of the trail when there's enough snow.<br/><br/>Does anyone else have recent trail condition reports?</p>
