Track is dry except for the creek crossings.

First time I've ridden the regular circuit for awhile. Watch out on the fire trail descent to Curl Curl Ck, there is a lot of loose sand that is often difficult to distinguish from the hard-packed line.

The climb up Heartbreak Hill is much easier than it was.

And as C3PO said a few days ago, "A lot of loose, fist sized rocks along the Allambie single trail bit (before the grass verge above the hydro lab) - just part of the ever changing trail."

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.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.

Status as above. There is now a 2nd boulder at the Golf Course road crossing meaning you need to go through those posts.
I also saw some workers digging in a post at Allambie - just after you go along the grass verge behind the houses and do a sharp left turn (still behind some houses). At this stage it is off the track but keep an eye out in case they extend it.

Or in my case, realise too late that a new boulder had been placed at my usual exit... So I simply crashed into the post... :/

I saw that yesterday. WTF did they put that boulder there for? I guess they're trying to slow people down a bit entering the car park? But all it's done is just create a new track around to the right of it. Seems a bit silly to me.

Yeah, it'll just keep moving right lol

They need to go all in and put a wbole bunch of rocks in one go.
