Amber/Some Issues

From the little bit I've seen there is no way that it's any worse than amber ATM.

Possible green tomorrow.

Do you have more information?

Bloody hell, I've become a pessimist........ Wasn't too bad tonight, bike needed a wash and the Big Dipper was a bit rear wheel spin inducing.

Unfortunately, the second berm on shaft built a month ago, hasn't weathered been ridden in the wet very well, and is somewhat rooted!

Ridden in the wet?

Yes that berm got smashed.

We had done some filling there last Saturday and it didn't have a chance to stick.
We've been over and scraped the 'mud' off, will do some more as it dries out.

Rob G and myself also did some other tidy up work yesterday, report on the Shaft thread.

Nah, I mean I would have called it barely amber, possibly still red. I use those climbs in clay , eg the one from the creek between shirt works and snakes, and the Big Dipper as my general yardsticks - eg if clay sticks to tyres and the rear spins, that's red for me ( based on typical conditions elsewhere when this is the case), when tys leave marks on those section but doesn't spin, I'm amber, and when it's tacky but no tyre marks, green. Seems to correlate with puddles at the end of shaft, mud on hang ten, and twisters as well.

Lol got a real OCD thing happening there haven't I!

Lots of the drainage work though over the last year or so is really making a difference. Even kenny's rode very well last night

Thought that was what you were getting at, just a good excuse for me to put that photo up.

I hadn't been very far so your report would be much more reliable. Feel free to shift it back to red if needed.
