Dry on Saturday, but man this place has been neglected. I haven't ridden here in about two years and couldn't believe the amount of erosion, mostly caused by what appears to be wet weather riding. I can't really complain as I'm not a local nor do i have the time to do track maintenance here, but riders really need to stay home until this place dries out in future.

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.

We have a few sections earmarked for some major works, hopefully to construct a more wet weather friendly loop.

I do agree though, I wish it was left alone when its wet, but its not uncommon after a week of rain to have a sunny saturday and a carpark full of bikes. Nothing we can do about it unfortunately.

But yes, trails like the start of Kenny's, Hang Ten are not in good shape. The top of Snakes and Ladders suffers from people riding the wrong direction and skidding down trails designed to be climbed.

They look like proper trails now not like painted tarmac, first time I have seen roots up there for years, it's good.

It rained heavily for about 4hrs in Jewells last night, guess Glenrock would have seen a lot of rain too?

Yeah, I'm in Dudley right next to Glenrock, it poured down here for a while. My back yard is soaked so I imagine the trails are too wet for riding.
