I noticed the last ride report was back in August and I figured I would give an update regarding the current conditions. I rode up master link to the start of OTG. I did not go to the summit because it was just too cold and too windy. The trails were wet and muddy in several spots. There was no snow so far but my bike definitely needed a good wash by the time I got back down the mountain.  The mud and water was nothing that would make the trail less ridable or less enjoyable. There was very little standing water  here and there but it was generally shallow or easily navigable. The roots and rock gardens were pretty slick so be careful. Great ride down overall though.
