One of the bike sites I frequent talking about the switchbacks on the road got some pretty serious water damage last week. Just wondering if it's the same place, if the strip is still usable and if it might be a little more exclusive for a bit?

Any locals?

I used to hear that it would have a tendancy to hold water near the middle of the strip if they got much rain. I flew over it yesterday, but wasn't really close enough for a good look. Didn't look bad from where I was.
They did a bunch of work on it a year or two ago, don't know if that helped the problem or not.
As always, a close inspection would be recommended.

Yes in the middle gets a muddy spot after thunderstorms. It is really hard to tell when the mud dries because it still is shiney until someone puts a few tracks across the bad spot. Most of the time you can get a pretty good indication of strip condition fronm the dirt road just north of the strip between Hell Roaring canyon and Mineral canyon along side the river.

However this is not 100% accurate

Sometimes there are puddles on the road but the strip is dry and vice versa.
