Just how muddy is the Indian Ridge HM trail?

While it humbles me to ask, better safe than sorry: I'm planning a trip to ride the Indian Ridge HM trail and then the connector to the Pinnacle Creek trail to Pineville on May 21 and 22 (that's a Monday and a Tuesday). Was planning to stay at Ashland. It will be my first time on those HM trails, and unless someone from this site wants to come along (which would be great - anyone?) it will be just me and a friend, both riding in my XP 900. I just watched a video on the HM website about the Indian Ridge trail talking about how it's known for being very muddy. Those of you who have ridden with me know that I have a tendency to find a way to get stuck in the mud (I know, sad, and sorta funny, but alas true!). Is the Indian Ridge trail one I should avoid when riding alone (no one there to pull me out) or is the extreme mud something that can be avoided? Thanks!

You can go around all the mud.

Some are muddy and some aren't. Not too bad. Like they said above, if it gets too muddy then you can go around

Many thanks, guys!

For the most part mini quads can go on all the green trails & you won't see any big mudholes unless you get on black & a few blue trails. You don't have any worries of being able to get around on any HMT with that XP 900.

It was pretty dang muddy Saturday in the rain, but it still not bad. Most of the H/M trails are well groomed and easy to bypass any mud. You'll find a lot more muddy/rocky/wet obstacles on the outlaw trails than on the H/M.

Thanks for the replies. As Bubba, Bobby D., Thunter and several others can attest, I am intimately acquainted with some of the mudholes on the outlaw trails. Haven't spent more than a couple of hours on the HM trails, though, and have never been on the Indian Ridge trails. Glad to hear it shouldn't be a problem.

THEY AIN,T BAD AT ALL I HAVE RODE THEM ON THE TERYX-4 WITH MY BUDDY HE HAS A XP 900 WE HAD A BLAST
