That's about the worst possible option. It's a quagmire.
It's not that it's cold, it's that the low temps don't provide the moisture the opportunity to dry out. We've been saturated for a good while now, but the pooling is actually getting worse because nothing dries in two days we get between downpours.
Wet stromlo grit is the most abrasive substance known to man
Seriously? I was there a week ago and everything below the access road, which is the majority of the network as I know it, was a swamp.
Alot can change in a week
I'll make sure I dodge Mt Rodgers tomorrow then, nothing like that at Stromlo, was running primo, like I said just a few standing puddles.
Nobody has any reason to go to Mt Rodgers, I just live in the general vicinity so I use it for fitness training.
Not sure what Stromlo is like out the back, I did Pork Barrel and it was the wettest trail I rode so bailed on Double Dissolution and rode back up the top and stuck to the front of the hill.
Double D was fine when I rode it on the weekend. Maybe a little water in that first deep bit, that's it. Magpie Rock and Slick Rock were both fine also. I'd bet Deep Creek etc was pretty bad though, and that last bit of Three Amigos is always a bog.
I'm with you with this one, Pork was wet af!
Yep, pretty shit on PB and most of the trails leading back to the carpark.
Sounds good. It was really nice last weekend, no mud so I was happy.
Wotcha up to tomorrow?
You back visiting?
Some meetings at work and some last stuff to collect. Have tomorrow to kill at Stromlo, more work stuff Monday and driving back south on Tuesday.
Late reply on this but yeah it was wet, that's why I decided to ride back up (although my legs hated me for it )and stuck to the front.
