Where to ride this weekend?

I'm keen to get out on the bike this weekend but with all this rain I'm not sure what trails drain well and will be fit to ride.

It looks like we'll get more rain tonight so I presume Manly Dam will out and the status of Red Hill isn't looking good. How's Oxford Falls or any other trails in the area?

the trails in south west sydney will be good for sat morning also yellowmundi and blue mountains should be ok, anything near the coast will be wet

Menai tends to drain very quickly.

I think duckholes and centre is your best bet if wet. If i am really desperate i also chuck a lap of akuna bay on the road

Has anyone been up to Ourimbah? How wet is it there?

I rode my local today & didn't see one puddle , must have had less rain than the beaches area ?

Centennial Park (outside track) was in rather good condition, or more to the point, it was no more sandy and rutted than when I rode it before the rain that we have had all week.

Ourimbah should be fine, drains well & haven't had rain for a couple of days.

... Been wondering - are you actually allowed to ride it? I've only ever ridden it at night (for obvious reasons).
Has anyone ever had any trouble during the day?
Cheers

The first person that showed me the 'correct way' (reverse to the traffic) said he was unsure.

I have had many Rangers see me (I even had one find me at night) and no one has said anything to suggest it is not okay. I have been meaning to look into the 'official rules' for a while now.
