Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 07 May
Glenrock Is Officially Open!
Yes the park is officially open.
The storm damage is mostly cleaned up and the park has been deemed safe and open to the public as of this morning. This should be on the NPWS website soon.
This means that the MTB trails are also open but status is Amber as there are quite a few sections of trail that are still damp enough to be damaged by riding.
Please tread lightly or avoid these where possible. A lot of work has gone into getting the park open and clearing trails but at this stage it is still a bit 'fragile' so please respect.
Also be aware that there may still be some unexpected hazards.

Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 06 May
Still pretty wet today on most trails - wet enough for riding to cause damage.
But it is drying fast so I don't think it will be too long.
The park is still officially closed but I don't think that will be for much longer either.
We will keep everyone posted on that.

Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 04 May
The park is still officially closed with trees still down on some trails.
Also is incredibly wet following extended rain so not good to ride and damaging for the trails anyway.
We will be doing some more trail clearing tomorrow so I'll check out conditions then.
Hopefully we will have everything cleared by the time the park is open and with dry weather that may be soon.

BJ's Urgent Trailwork
Just wondering when some trailwork is planned for BJ's? This area has been constantly degrading for years now, and has reached a point where it is getting quite dangerous due to the continual emergence of new lines emerging around the obstacles, such as the rock drop offs.
As you can see in my photos there are now multiple lines do not flow, running off camber across the face of the hill which is being ripped up by rear wheel skidding. This is starting to cause erosion which will get worse with this weeks rainfall.
Glenrock State Conservation Area update for 19 Apr
For the amount of rain it was slippery this morning. not many puddles but some boggy sections on kennies in the shady sections but dry in the open sections. I lost it a couple of times on the tree roots and went sideways in the clay on the dipper while free wheeling down didn't even touch the brakes to achieve a good drift.
