Mud removal at GA61 & 92 bridges, ran the trail blower Thursday 52mi, then cut back shrubbery at the treatment plant on Friday.  It was a lot of work.  Hard rides on Tues, Thur and Saturday… by Saturday afternoon I was toast.

The recent storm was intense and left mud on the trail at the GA 61 and 92 bridge crossings.  I’ve called GA DOT in the past but they have failed to take measures to improve on the erosion problems that leave mud on the trail.   The mud in sections of the trail was 2-3″  deep, a real safety hazard.  The worst section was at the GA Hwy61 crossing. Sorry, it was getting late, I was tired and neglected to get “after” photos.  Shoveling mud is more work that shoveling dirt, it’s much heavier.

The muddy area at GA92 was larger and required much more pushing to get the mud collected, then shoveled off.  While not as thick as the mud at Hwy 61, was wet and slick.
