Green	5 years	Awesome riding on the Old Great North Road and Western Commission Track today. The track was in good condition. Dry, but not too dusty, either.	view
Green	5 years		view
Green	6 years	Bit dry with some sand sections but nice!	view
Green	6 years	Still plenty of sandy spots and tough rocky sections, but after a few hundred riders have been through today, there is no better time to tackle this iconic section of Sydney sandstone off road...	view
Green	6 years	A few sandy patches and a couple of slow drying puddles. Plenty of low hanging shrubbery and the rocky step ups are not getting any easier, but otherwise business as usual.	view
Amber	7 years	There's only one puddle on the tech section you need to ride through which isn't deep on the edge. There are big trees down just after Claires Bridge	view
Green	7 years	Sandy in spots but clear and easily rideable from Wisemans up to the dirt road.	view
Green	8 years	Rode some of this today as a recce for the Convict. Shepard's Gully is a freeway all the way to the top. Could pretty much ride 4 abreast all the way. Much easier to appreciate the rock...	view
Green	8 years	Damp sand and puddles in places but in good condition.	view
Green	9 years	From Blue Door Point Rd to Ten Mile Hollow, sticks, sticks and more sticks with the odd tree across the track thrown in for fun.	view
Green	10 years	Rode there today. All good along the top track - drains pretty well at the top, though Shepherd's Gully is taking some major redevelopment works at the bottom of the hill - watch out very deep...	view
Green	11 years	Trail was in much better condition than expected. Almost as good as it gets. We were riding laps of the technical section to the T junction with the Western Commission trail. Very few puddles,...	view
Green	11 years	First time I've done this trail and it seemed near perfect to me, a little sandy in places but not enough to ruin the ride. The water butt outside the budhist place is a welcome rest stop...	view
Green	11 years	All good	view
Green	12 years	Other than some of the bigger puddles its all dry. There are a couple of trees down across the fire roads. I expect they will be cleared in the next 4 weeks.	view
Amber	12 years	Had a blast down to where they have the halfway stop in the Dirtworks. The trail was heavy with lots of puddles but not too bad. Worth a ride but you'll come back pretty muddy. Washed the bike,...	view
Green	12 years	Yup all good. LOTS of dried, hard horse hoof so not as flowy as it could be. But not really a big deal.	view
Green	12 years	All good here. A little more water then normal from the 85mm last weekend but still good.	view
Green	12 years	Doesn't get much dryer than this - perfect conditions.	view
Amber	12 years	Rode there this morning. glad i did as it's probably in the best condition of any of the Sydney rides. Lots of the usual standing puddles but all in all the track was fairly dry. Well...	view
Amber	13 years	Wet. The usual puddles are full but much of the single track is waterlogged. It drains quickly so best wait a day or so of good weather.	view
Green	13 years	Couple of puddles, but the rest of the main track is otherwise fine. I attempted "Spiders" descent, which was very overgrown, and I do not recommend it as the best way to descend from the...	view
Green	13 years	All good here. A bit wet making it a bit slippery.	view
Green	13 years	Rode there today and all good. Bl00dy hot though.	view
Green	13 years	Has been a while since I last rode up here. The winter rains haven't been too kind and have left a lot of loose rocks around it's a lot more scrabbly in places. So if you haven't ridden up here...	view
Green	13 years	In good condition with the usual waterholes. They have however grated the first section from the top of Devines to the intersection at about 4.65km on the below profile. This is where it starts...	view
Green	14 years	In good condition. The same large puddles are there from when I rode it 2 years ago but the are easy to navigate. Shepards Gully is a bit overgrown but good fun...	view
Green	14 years	In lovely condition. Be warned - if you can, take something to cover your mouth. The flies are in swarming in plague proportions up there. I was spitting out flies every 30secs or so. That wasn't...	view
