Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 07 Jun

Amber/Some Issues

I was in there this afternoon and while most trails are good there are still a few wet spots, made worse be the traffic over the weekend. Overall I would say it's fine to ride IF you stay away from problem spots and get off and walk around mud patches rather than contributing to trail erosion. Pretty isolated wet patches overall trail surface was dry.

I would call the following trails Green: Upper Seuss Land (with the usual puddles), (sh)It Happens, Bjs, Snakes and Ladders, Jumping the Gun, Black Boy

Following trails are yellow with minimal mud patches: Upper Kenny's, High Roller, lower Seuss Land

The following trails need to be left well alone: Shaft (photos attached) and the sniggle round the shit works fence from the bottom of shaft to the bottom of BJs is a mess. Also the track between to the two quarries/jump sites is sludge and needs to be left alone, probably until summer!

Lower Kenny's/Bailey's paddock is muddy which is annoying as if this was ok then a loop would still be possible. The Fire trail linkages are all ok, although still damp in places.

With more windy dry weather this could all dry out over the next few days, but rain forecast for the weekend Sad

There was more rain overnight on an already saturated base, tracks are significantly wetter than yesterday (at least at Seuss area which is where I stuck my head in). I would leave it til this arvo at the earliest for riding.

Jesmond Park/John Hunter Hospital Hill Gallery

area between Jesmond Park & John Hunter Hospital has many technical singletrail for riding when other areas are wet as since most of it is on the top or sides of the hill they drain well & the soil in most spots dries quick.Area is used by people walking dogs & Moto riders so just be careful-area will one day be used as part of the bypass so at the moment there is no regs. up there!

Drying out pretty well in most areas. The clay based sections are still a bit soft, parts of Double Barrel and the middle section of Shaft for example.

Can't really call it red any more or our credibility will suffer.

Otherwise we can try to reduce impact - please ride in the right direction and try not to skid.

How much rain has fallen at Awaba?

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Well this image says it all,

Water Damage to the Awaba DH Trail.

This is a photo taken today of sediment runoff from Mt Faulk road onto the berm below the scorpion gap at Awaba. The road was freshly graded not long ago.

the sediment in here would be up to 500mm deep in the middle of the berm.

A lot of work had been done here in the past to make sure water coming from the road above doesn;t erode the trail, but we have never had a sediment deposit situation before.
