Anyone seen the Dam today? Keen for a ride, but don't want to push things if there is still a lot of run-off. There's been a couple of nice, sunny, warm days but I'm afraid it may still need a bit longer to dry out.

There was a heavy downpour yesterday morning, super humid weather and finally proper sunshine today.

Maybe give another full day of sunny warm weather?

If you are keen today and not sure, park at the entrance from Wakehurst, walk over have a look at the sniggle and if its puddle city you know its best to sit it out today..

....I'm just hoping someone has been round today and can give the all clear. Smiling

Did a lap today. I was only on the lap as far as the Wakehurst Parkway, and turned off for some fun riding in Bantry. The trail was in decent condition, considering the rain of the last two weeks. There was maybe 5 puddles in the section (mainly sitting in the holes of corner apexes) leading up to the Wakehurst Parkway, which were not much of a bother to ride around. I didn't consider that I was destroying the trail by riding it. The most water I saw was residing around the rock garden area after the rock steps. So, go for it I say!! Smiling

Did a couple of laps yesterday (Wednesday). I would say it's 75% dry with the rest being shallow puddles but the track does seem to be a lot looser than normal it's not as packed down as it usually is.

Did another roday, a full lap this time. The puddles were less than yesterday. This is in part, because bikes are running over the puddles. Again, it is easily dry enough to ride. Smiling
