Glenrock is wet again this morning, rained quite a bit overnight.

I didn't look at every trail but the whole place is wet and the ground had barely dried yesterday.

What is wrong with our weather?

Do you have more information?

Good weather today means we should be OK pretty soon.

Can anyone who has a look put a report up.

I don't have a functioning mtb, so its not my fault this time.

Absolutely bucketed down about 5.30am this morning at merewether - Nobby's registered 12mm overnight, which will make Grock totally shite unfortunately.

Head for your wet weather options today - sandy trails will be nicely packed down by all that rain.

Hi guys, went for a ride last night on the good trails, so didnt explore the usual suspects, but Double barrel and reload were quite wet - these are normally good in wet conditions, so I stuck to my wet weather trails (obviously S&L as always is good).

Therefore still very wet, when both of these are tacky rather than muddy, checking the others might be in order. There isnt a doable loop at the moment, just back and forth, using up some of the firetrail climbs on the southern side of flaggy creek

got my fingers crossed-cannot remember my last ride there(4 weeks me think?)

Hi robbie, with great hope i went out tonight.

shaft has mud and puddles, but general trail is 95% good, black boy is an avoid - muddy, climb up is pretty yuk, big dipper is still a mud fest, rest of easy way out not too bad, twisties is terrible as is reload for 50m o so, kenny's is also avoid, zeuess ok

So generally, round GCR is ok (apart from twisties), northside is bad, everything on the southern side of the creek crossing is pretty ok.

might give it a miss & head up to Singo for a spin early in the morning

We have had a fair amount of rain up here at Singo too, I imagine it will be quite boggy in parts as it rained pretty solid early in the week and we had a couple of showers yesterday. It has been windy today so parts may be dry but the new sections through the earthworks will be snot. I gave it a miss and headed out on the roadie today cause I didn't think it would be any good.

Maybe it's time to take up hovercrafting...or a swim at wallaroo....
