All good now, a bit rutted in places but the sun and wind has dried it out nicely.

Do you have more information?

If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.

Is this track open to the public or just for club days?

not to easy to find first time as in a 100km/h zone on a country road,but do it as it is a fun track

The track starts at the 100kph sign, its on your right with a wooden set of steps over the fence. If you get to Dights crossing rd on your left, you've gone about 200m too far.
I'm pretty sure there is a track maintenance day this weekend to prep it for the 3hr and, we have had a bit of rain up here over the last couple of days. Track will be rideable but will have some wet spots.

How is Singleton looking for the 3 hour this weekend. Have you had much rain up there?

Got a bit of rain last night, not sure if there was any today as I'm not home. If the forecast is correct we are supposed to get heaps of rain over the next couple of days.

It looks like they've reduced the forecasted rain

Pity the radar doesn't agree with the forecast!

Lets just wait and see how much falls. I just put my bike back together after cleaning it from the Husky so I'm not racing if its wet.

How does this track hold up?

@ps, hasn't been that bad according to the bom

It's had twice as much rain on it this week as it had in the week up to robbieo's update previous to this one, http://glenrocktrailalliance.com/node/36568
I usually leave it a few days before riding it after rain.
Probably best to post on the facebook page as I'm not home to go have a look. https://www.facebook.com/groups/228111753872066/

Any chance someone would be at the track this arvo for a status. I'm not on FB so I can't access that link. The radars not looking good.

I've put a post on FB asking if someone can come on here and do an update.

Most of the track looks pretty good it's pretty hardpacked so water doesn't tend to soak in.There's about 100m of track all up that's still greasy around some new earthworks.We've drained the puddles and it's sunny and pretty windy so shouldn't be too bad by tomorrow.After 3 hrs you'll probably have a muddy bike but it's nowhere near as bad as the Husky100 track.For what its worth I'd recommend making the trip.

Thanks for the update and will be there for sure
