Green	8 years	Been out last w/e again and have to correct my previous update: The Swamp is only graded from Bees Nest towards Shaws. Clearly I must had a bit of a shock and didn't look the other way... - last...	view

Green	8 years	There are still a lot of sand in places along the ridges from the heavy rain a few weeks back, but pretty good otherwise. haven't done the full loop as this arvo's storm chased me back home (oops...	view
Green	9 years		view
Green	10 years	The tree across the DH section from Shaw's ridge is now removed. There are plenty of debris everywhere of course, since the wind keeps up. Some massive gums came down in the past few weeks since...	view
Red	10 years	Caution Shaw's Ridge downhill section has a tree fallen across the track. Blue Gum is fine.	view
Green	10 years		view
Green	10 years	The send-traps on Shaw's ridge are coming back up again, probably due to the super dry conditions going on for weeks now. Otherwise all good.	view
Green	10 years	There is a tree down on the fire trail heading out to Grose Head. You can just get under it or try to walk around it. There are sandy patches along the trails, however if you hit them at speed...	view

Green	12 years	Nothing really to say.	view

Green	12 years	- Shaws Ridge Trail is generally good. The downhill at the north end is rocky, some erosion ruts, and a downed tree you can ride over, take care. - Blue Gum Swamp Trail has some short...	view
Green	12 years	Ok, after what seemed like endless rain, finally the single tracks at winmalee have finally dried enough for riding, there is still a bit of boggy riding, i have filled most of it, all drainage...	view
Amber	12 years	Done a loop yesterday to see how the conditions were. Large puddles, boggy mud sections and trees down blocking path, not much fun. Won't be going around again until a little more sunshine.	view
Green	12 years	Muddy bogs in the usual spots. One of them now has a massive branch across it so walkers/riders have made a trail about a metre further into the bush to get around it. NO GOOD!	view
Green	12 years	Blue gum swamp, trail sandy in spots with some large mud puddles at the bottom of Shaws ridge.	view
Green	13 years	The track is nice and tacky. Puddles in the usual spots, but this bout of rain hasn't affected the swamp and causeways much, which is a shame as the swamp needs a good cleanse.	view
Green	13 years	All good in Winmalee at this stage. The usual puddles through Bluegum Swamp that will be there until NP's let us put some drainage in. Both ridges are perfect. Getting a little dry on the...	view
Green	13 years	Went for a run through Blue Gum today. Mud in the usual spots, but everything else is dandy.	view
Green	13 years	Still some standing water/mud in the bottom of Bluegum but other than that it is all good. Lots of traction, especially up Bee's Nest.	view
Green	13 years	Puddles in the usual spots, but it's been worse. Motos have been along Springwood Ridge and torn it up a bit. Other than that it's good.	view
