Tip from our recon ride on Sat: Suggest to carry a spare hanger as there are plenty of sticks and dropped branches across the Single track and fire trails due to recent winds.

Which bit did you end up riding Hans? Wingello+ or just Wingello?
Always carry a spare hanger, but FWIW I hoping they'll *sweep* the course removing much of the bigger sticks and stuff.
I rode the GNR on the weekend for the first time since DW and noticed that Shepherds gully has been totally overgrown since then. There is no clear line through at the moment. I reckon the DW organisors did some work to help define a line through some of the looser sections of the descent. Can anyone confirm?

Rode penrose Saturday and wingello a few weeks back, penrose is looking good, the single track needs some work, but the fire trails are hard and fast. The sand on the back end of the course is still a bitch - plenty of small branches on the ground around the great sandy desert.
Good luck to all riding - ps. the water was very cold, hopefully the waist deep crossing isn't too deep this year. It would be nice to not have to get the family jewels to cold
