Manly Dam - Condition report fot Thursday Please

Did it rain yesterday?? Went for a look just at the downhill section that's been mutilated below Southern Cross Way late yesterday after work. Still so wet I was really quite shocked, especially given how dry it's been since Sunday arvo. Ridable, but definately no green light.

BTW, the work that's been done on this section of trail is bizarre. I get that loose rocks in the troughs allows them to stop becoming mini dams after rain, but the rest of it??? Some parts have been bulldozered and had soil placed in them for absolutley no reason whatsoever...

That section was my favorite to and it is now an absolute smooth as road.............also walked it with the dog and it is ridable......just expect to give the bike a clean after

I just came back from a bit of an investigative ride of the Dam, and I must say , Ive never seen it that wet, in really odd places too. Like the single track is all dry, bar the sandstone roll down, the monster puddle before the flat rock is still there, but back further its dry. All the fire road at the top is wet, but the double track from the nineteenth hole to the hydro lab is dry, apart from a bit of mud round near the houses.

I'd be inclined to rate it Red, I guess its borderline though.
