It was looking a little dusty today, so here is an update to bring on the wet.

Really, everything I rode was nice, bordering on dusty. Rather than list all the trails, I'll just list the issues I came across.

Kenny's - Odd puddle/bog that needs deberning, few big ruts otherwise good.
Twisties - Generally dry, few damp patches but in need of work, some big ruts.
De-Luge - Some big water holes, won't dry in a hurry.

That is really the extent of the wet (ive not listed any management trail issues). All dry and a stunning day in there today. RDO tomorrow, so more ride time for me.

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.

if it does pour down it is all your fault bro!-yeh must agree "twisties" is chewed up big time.

Twisties is going to need some serious rock work in the straight sections.

heaps of big rocks that is-what about that section on "Kenny's" where riders have widened the trail to the left rather then riding down tthe middle rut? it will need rocks also I think.

Kenny's will be a massive job. Assuming we can get NPWS in there, I would be guessing Kenny's will still take a loooooooooong time to do properly.

What a shame I am not at work today. Terrible day for an RDO.

The water flow on to kennys seems to have changed a bit. places that used to get water run off seem to not get as much but there seems to be water run off onto different parts of the trail i think we need to look north of the trail to see were its comeing from

I noticed water flowing from a nice new drainage pipe under Fernleigh Loop about 50 metres from the intersection with City Rd (Pacific Hwy).
The water seemed to flow towards the new creek near the start of Kenny's.

Is where Hunter Water drain the water storage tanks, when they do it can become an absolute flood down on Kenny's in the dip just after the telstra pit.
This doesn't happen too often but the section of trail should be rock armoured to prevent damage when they do.

Yep, I'd hate to be riding past when they really open the pipes up.
