Appin update for 17 Mar

The ground had firmed up a bit during the week but the most recent rain has softened things up again. Rutts have formed at some points because people won't stay off the tracks. I was a bit disappointed with this mornings track maintenance turn out as I'd thought that some of the two dozen or so people riding the track in the recent wet conditions that I'd spoken to about the regular maintenance days while doing some work might have turned up.

There is water flowing down parts of the track and lots of standing water. Give it at least another week of 30deg days before heading out and causing any more damage. Other sections like The Lost Track and Abbots Loop, both off the regular race track, are worse than the regular loop in the wet.
