Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 08 Sep

Status:
Red/Closed Went in for a short ride this arvo and is still super wet. Went up snakes and ladders and there are a few decent puddles and soft spots. Apart from that stuck to the fire trails which are very wet and slippery. Fingers crossed for a few more sunny days like today to dry things out.
Do you have more information?

The car park was pretty full yesterday afternoon, there were bikes everywhere then we had a bit more rain last night so I'd imagine the trails are looking pretty flogged.
Has anyone seen Glenrock today?
How does it look?
I planned on doing an inspection ride - fully expecting to ride the fire trails and walk the singletrack, but it was in surprisingly good condition. I stopped at the top of Shaft (I ride up Yule rd to get it) debating whether to even bother with that section, but the dirt I could see was dry, so I rolled through. I was amazed at how good it was. There was some puddles towards the end (near the shitworks), and some extra errosion, but the trail was firm.
Usual wet and soggy fire trails, but not as much as I expected. Went up Snakes and Ladders, and you can see that people were riding when they shouldn't, but the trail is fairly firm now - if people were riding down it would be bad, but if they're riding down snakes and ladders I doubt they would be caring about trail conditions anyway...
Riding up Grass Tree was fine, but I did the chicken run back down the green, so don't know what the downhill side is like.
Again, I expected to walk Deluge, but whoever did the additional drainage there has done an awesome job, and it is in better condition than when all the rain started!
Reload was fine.
On Kenny's I did walk past some soggy sections, but amazingly Bailey's paddock was not too bad. I skipped BJs, and Seuss land was not too bad either.
All in all I was impressed with how the trail is at the moment, but there are erosion sections that will need some work after people riding wet trails.
I'd call it Amber.
