The Hydrocut
Glasgow Street N2N3K6 Kitchener, ON

The trail conditions have slowly been deteriorating and now with the rain and forecasted higher temperatures we must close the trails. Hopefully cold weather and snow will return soon! #trailsclosed

Trails open! Lots of rain yesterday but cold temperatures have frozen things back up. Likely to be very icy so studs are recommended. Possibly more rain and warm temperatures on the way but we will monitor and update accordingly. #trailopen

Trails Closed! Well the warm temperatures and rain have arrived again. Please stay off until cold temperatures return. #trailsclosed

Trails open! Cold temperatures have returned and the trails have firmed up. Hard pack and icy conditions so studded tires are likely required. #trailsopen #hydrocut

Trails closed! Rain has made the trails a slushy mess overnight. Cold temp will return later today but you will likely require studs to ride once reopened. #trailsclosed #hydrocut

A little late but the trails are open and ready to go! Fresh snow all around so should make for great conditions. Mother Natures Christmas present. #trailsopen #hydrocut #hydrocuttrails

Trails closed. Rain has returned and along with it more seasonable temperatures. Trails will be closed for awhile so please be patient and stay off until we update next. #trailsclosed

Snyder’s side open! Please don’t enter on Glasgow or ride past the Back 40/Down Tube junction, that side is still to wet. Trails won’t stay open long with the weather coming in so get out while you still can. #trailsopen #winterscoming

Well it’s not often this happens, especially in November but our trusted tree removal crew has given the green light for Snyder’s side only! Please don’t enter from Glasgow or venture past Back 40/ Down Tube hub. Hopefully the weather cooperates over night and we can leave it open tomorrow as well. #trailsopen

Even with tomorrow’s forecasted great weather the trails will remain closed. Snow in shaded areas only melted today and the trails remain saturated from the previous rain. Please respect the closure and stay off until further updates. Maybe visit our friends at Puslinch or @woodstockcyclingclub while we are closed.

NEW FEATURE ALERT Some may have already noticed and rode this feature on Adams run. This new feature is probably the roughest section of trail we have built to date. With multiple massive rock relocations and winding steps built down the hill this section will surely test your suspension out! #trailbuilding #rockmoving

NEW TRAIL ALERT! After well over 300 volunteer hours, Emotional Roller Coaster is now OPEN! This trail includes a ‘Hydrocut first’ wooden wall ride (30’ long @ 45degrees), a small hip jump, a roller section and rollable rock jump/hip. Once the trail beds in and dries out, there should no pedal strokes required until after the wall ride. The trail then has a gentle switch back climb to the top and exits right back at the start so you can ride the ERC again and again. The trail is located on the Tri City materials land and is found at the top of Downtube. We also spotted the elusive trail builder who is fuelled by beer ! #newtrail #trailbuilderslikebeer #newtrailday #wallride.

Trails closed! Rain over night has made the trails to wet to ride. If we stay out of the freeze/thaw cycle over the next few nights they may dry up before the next rain. Time will tell . #trailsclosed

The Hydrocut is growing yet again! Our next door neighbours at Arriscraft Canada Inc have signed a land use agreement with us which will allow two new sections of trail to be developed on their land! Planning has already begun on how we can incorporate this land into our trail system. Thanks Arriscraft International! www.arrisscraft.com #excitingtimes #newtrails #salesmanoftheyear

Trails will be open for tomorrow morning. Enjoy them as there’s not much time left before the season ends. #trailsopen

Trails fully open!

Trails closed! Continuing drizzle, low temps and lack of sun aren’t allowing the trails to dry. #trailsclosed

Even with the light rain overnight the trails have dried enough to open. Please beware trail work will be on going and you may encounter workers or machines. #trailsopen Did you know that trail crews are primarily fuelled by beer? #trailcrewlikebeer

More rain overnight and in the forecast for the day. Trails closed and let’s hope for some sun! #trailsclosed

All trail open! Enjoy the great conditions and fall colours. #trailsopen

SNYDERS ONLY! Boots on the ground have let us know that Snyder’s side is ok to ride. Please avoid entering from Glasgow and turn around at the Downtube and Back 40 junction. #trailsopen

Storm over night with plenty of rain. The trails will need some time to dry up from this. Things take a bit longer now to dry up so please be patient. #trailsclosed

Trails are good to go! Some of the best riding conditions right now and coming into the long weekend. Enjoy! #trailsopen #hydrocut

Hate to say it but the rain has returned. It’s that time of year where rain and colder temperatures take over. This also delays the drying time significantly so please be patient and wait for the all clear before riding. #trailsclosed #hydrocut

Trails have dried up from the weekends rain. Get out for a ride while you can! #trailsopen #hydrocut

Trails Closed. Rain has returned over night and will continue through out the day. Please be patient with the trails drying at this time of year as they will take longer. Also the last trail status is always the most current status! #trailsclosed
