Green imho. Rode in from Fernleigh track yesterday afternoon and did a loop including 6 Shooter & Seismic / Kenny / Seuss / Shaft / Hang 10 etc and back out again. Still a couple of trees down (just before Dipper / 6 Shooter) and have been for a while - not sure what NPWS are doing atm. Very dry though, with some loose surfaces here and there. Stayed upright, just a few grip issues.

Biggest issue at the moment for mine is the proliferation of joggers (running up Kenny in the wrong direction) walkers on the management trail - some of whom keep left, some of whom keep right and both of which expect the cyclist to yield to them) and bogans with unleashed dogs.

I guess this is the price for the southern trail closures.

Do you have more information?

Don't forget that as cyclists we are generally either faster or more manoeuvrable and controllable than a walker, runner or horse, so it's only good etiquette that we yield to these other users.

See IMBA Rules of the Trail.

Reminded the NPWS feild officers about the trees again.

It's really slow going with them at the moment in all respects.
With the 'on the ground' work I think they would do oit if they could but are really under-resourced to begin with and now the guys are being sent of to fires every week.

If you know any pyromaniacs - tell them to stop it!
