Status: 
Amber/Some Issues

Overall good to ride but a few issues:
The first bit of single trail after the shared fire trail that leads down to the drop off before Cootamundra Reserve is quite wet (19th hole?). There's also a low overhanging branch at the start of this single trail.
On the golf course sniggle - fair bit of water on the A & B line rock drop offs and just before the lookout.
Creek crossing wet as expected.
All else is great. Apart from the creek crossing hopefully everything will clear up by the weekend.
Will head out again tomorrow morning and update for any changes.

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.

Well apart from more rain expected Thursday/Friday - Dang it!!

The tree on the RHS at the first left/right turn down the 19th hole has tilted quite a bit since the rain. It caught me by surprise and my pack hit it pretty hard.

It's been moving a bit over time, but it's really shifted in the last week - keep an eye out for it.

That section is still really wet. Otherwise pretty good and the new drainage is working well.

Went out this morning (Wed 20th). Similar to above post from last week - 19th hole quite damp. If you keep to the left you can avoid the banksia. Other than the wet parts mentioned above there is also a puddle just after MVPS car park. The rest of the trail is quite "loose".
Unfortunately rain predicted Fri arvo and over the weekend otherwise it would dry out perfect for the weekend & Aus day.
If you can - get out Friday morning before the rain - dare say it'd be pretty unAustralian if your boss doesn't let you work it in somehow......
Now just have to convince myself to have a crack at that left hand side jump on the new section before the hydro lab.

I'll have to speak to my boss about taking some time during the week to get some riding in. Good for the mental health and all that.

That left hand drop you mention...a handful of speed and you won't even notice that it is there.
