Where to ride this w/e

I know Gahnia will be dry but it's not really my thing (nothing against the trail). Anyone ridden the Dam or Possums in the last day or so - is it dry? Any other recommendations for dry trails this weekend around the beaches?
Thanks,

A few watch outs around the Dam area

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

This kind of spans a few trails so thought his was more appropriate than a trail status update

From my ride this morning a few watch outs

1) Dam is pretty wet (no new news here)
2) Possums has a few very damp spots and is clearly getting a lot of traffic these days - couple of spots are starting to get very muddy and boggy
3) Austrian Enduro (the track down to the rugby field to get to Serrata) - pretty wet and holding water in a few spots
4) Daisy Dukes - again a few spots are very wet and some big mud holes starting to form

Beginner at oxford falls

Hey I've been riding mtb at manly dam and looking into doing some jumps. I went if to oxy but it seemed a bit big to start off on. Just curious how you guys started jumping at oxy. Did you just go for it or work your way up?

Trail status out of wack

Rode the Dam tonight and also Gahnia and would have to say the trail status is completely out.
Gahnia is completely dry and deserves a Green light.
The Dam is super wet , haven't ridden it since before Christmas but it's a big mud pit, not surprised with the rain we've had but needs to be Orange.
The possum trail is pretty wet too, so stay out of there as well. Not seen any puddles in there before since the reroute but plenty in there now. Top halve is all good.
Gahnia loads of fun at night but next time going in with full lights and not just the head lamp.

Manly ride

Hi all, wanting to go for a ride this weekend at Manly, have done manly dam twice but just the loop. Would like to check out the extended loop (possums etc?) but no idea where this is (other than across wakehurst parkway), and would like to take in gahnia and serrata as well. What would be the most logical way to do this, anyone done a similar ride and have it mapped on strava? Or if anyone wants to do a ride on Sunday or Monday this weekend then happy to be shown around!

cheers
Ben

Trail Run tomorrow, can I still ride Serrata?

The title say it all. I believe Gahnia is off limits due to the trail run happening tomorrow but can I still ride Serrata, does anyone know?

Thanks!

Ok.
So myself and @Giantnut were enthusiastically cruising the terrey hills trail network this morning. Having a great ole ride.... Then as we were hauling ar$e down the duck holes downhill section, we come around a corner and OMG very near miss with a moto coming the opposite direction. GN hit the tree line, I was lucky enough to be already off line and had him pass by my left.... I managed a quick glance backwards as he kept going to see the bike sporting a number plate! Not your usual no plate anonymous bandit.
