It's hard to say. I would bet that the ridges will be fine but the low spots will still be pretty muddy. Sorry, I won't be able to get out there to see. The Boonville Bike Club will be cutting some trail at the middle school from about 3:15 to 5:00. We have a bunch of rhinos and other tools if anyone wants to help.

Still pretty muddy out there. There are 2 new trees down that I know of. Both of them are near the teeter totter and will require a chainsaw. Any takers?

Trails should be fine unless we get a lot of rain today.

Good looking out guys. All great ideas and plans. Seems like the more local we get, the better. With HMBA by our sides we can't lose. I think every town should have it's own club. This will be more attractive to local schools.

If you only spend a few hundred bucks on a bike then you should definitely consider it a starter bike. If you end up getting more serious, then I would suggest upgrading. But if you end up just riding on occasion, a bike like the 3500 should hold up fine as long as you need it. I started on a Trek 820 in the early 90's and it held up to a few years of pretty serious abuse.
One thing you should consider is the quality of suspension fork that comes on a bike like the 3500. If you plan to ride trails pretty hard, then a fork like that won't hold up too long and will require serious maintenance to keep it running smooth. The suspension does offer a much nicer ride, but a rigid fork is fine for starting out and much more reliable. However, if you're willing to maintain a suspension fork, I highly recommend them.
I would also recommend going through a bike shop to get started. Once you ride and learn more about bikes, you can save some money buying online.
