Amber/Some Issues

Get out there. I've marked it Orange because there are a few areas where those who are precious about their gear will want to avoid. Overall very rideable and no damage to the trail. More detail below:
*Bangaroo St (Nth Bal) to Seaforth bowlo great.
*The s bends after the bowl slightly wet and that board at the entry is greasy.
*The single trail (sniggle), past the A & B line rock descent are great - dry as.
*There's a puddle just before the rock lookout over the golf course and a few minor puddles along the single trail to the double rock step up.
*Trig trail/cobblestones slightly greasy but fine.
*Fire trail descent to the creek great.
*Creek crossing very muddy - you'll get wet.
*From the creek crossing and up heart break hill are great.
*Rest of the fire trail fine - a few small puddles but very minor.
*The single trail after the fire trail all the way past that small park (19th hole?) to beside the road is fine - you wouldn't even know we've had rain.
*From Allambie to the Hydro lab is great - dry as. Even the boards before the hydro lab are fine.
*Just past Manly Vale School to that short sharp hill there's a bit of water in one place - you'll get wet.

btw - Possums, KC and that descent to the bus stop on the other side of the Parkway are great.

If you want to be super cautious about your drivetrain - do the extended loop and the only worry is after Manly Vale School. For most people the trail is fine - pack away the roadie and get amongst it before we get more rain!
Cheers,
