Amber/Some Issues

Just went in for a ride for the NPWS to inspect the Port to Port route and make the preliminary call on wet or dry route. For the most part its surprisingly dry in Glenrock. Of the trails I rode, here is an update.

Snakes and Ladders - Other then a puddle that needs to be de-bermed on the first right, all good.
Seismick - All Good
Pump Action - Other than the Quarry Clay, which wasn't as bad as expected, not to bad.
ReLoad - All Good
Kenny's - Few puddles/boggy ruts in the first 100m or so, then all good until the Bailey's Paddock entrance.
Seuss Land - Few puddles in the middle section, drying out.
Shaft - Wet after the creek crossing, otherwise fine. Little slippery in the reworked easement.
Hang Ten - has a section 10m long that is wet and slippery, and the big corner is holding some moisture.
Management Trails - Mixed bag, some wet bits mostly dry.
Grass Tree - Awesome

With no rain it will be dry quickly. At this stage the Port to Port will be on the dry weather loop unless we get a bit of rain overnight.

Do you have more information?

I'm taking the family to glenrock tomorrow to view the race.
I was thinking around high roller/start of seuss land would be a good spot and not too far to walk from the car.
As the start at cams wharf is 0845, will 0945 be a good time to get there or should I be there earlier?

Yeah, I can't see even Andy Blair getting there any earlier! I'm No. 450 FWIW, and probably wearing a huge grin for making it this far.

Would be great to see Uppo. I was riding right behind the bloke in the pink jersey through most of Glenrock, but he took off after Reload. My legs were pretty spent by then after 4 days.
It was a great event!
