Thinking of a ride at Ourimbah tomorrow and keen to hear from anyone that might know if the track is good to go or if it also needs a few more days to dry out.

Ive been there after rain i have to say that the place drains really well. you should be fine.

Ive been there after rain and whilst the top section drains well it all drains into the grave yard. The bottom half of the climb can be pretty bad too, my reccomendation is to super d it up and just do multi runs of roller coaster ad the rest of the top sections and skip the bottom sections

I hope I'm not speaking out of line here, but many sections at Ourimbah have started to erode quite a bit lately. Lots of new, annoying, sidewall slashing rocks have appeared recently and it might be best if the track had a bit more of a rest. Mind you I haven't been up there in the last couple of weeks since the rains arrived and couldn't tell you how it is draining/drying ATM.
BWOAR!

even though the sun is shining im sticking to the road today. Just serviced two bikes since the rain and they've taken a hammering in this crap weather. Lots of grease has been used and i'm almost scared to take them off road for a while! I was talking of going to ourimbah this weekend but decided against it.

Didn't post as a ride cause we were not sure what to expect, we went up to check it out and were welcomed by ay least 15 cars already there. Decided on a closer look and were happy to ride as it was way drier than when they open the dam. There were a few muddy sections but much drier than I'd have thought even the graveyard was fine. Gazza saw you taking the Enduro for a drive this morning I guess you've found somewhere to ride off road after all.
