I pick up a new wild cat trail and would like to take it out this weekend.
Was thinking of going on the Iron Horse Trail from Smoky to bellis,
Just wondering how wet it would be.
I what to take it easy to brake the cat and myself,
As I have never ran a sxs

at the ASA meeting today I was sitting with a guy that manages part of the iron horse trail and he said they had to dig out a chunk of it to let water run. I know it's a long trail, and I'm not sure exactly where they dug it out, but it's impassable at that point

It's a much nicer ride when everything greens up - far from exciting, but pretty scenic. Did you find the trails to the North-West of Bellis?

Sorry, I meant SW of Bellis. About a km or two before you hit Bellis, there will be a sand trail that crosses the Iron Horse. These's nothing to the North but there are a few trails to the South. A little closer to Bellis, there's also a gate on the South Side of the Iron Horse.
