Danbury XC route is ridable but very gloopy in places with some 'Hike A Bike sections'

Down Hill runs and jumps was dry and running nice, the last exit sections has muddy patches but overall running fine.

North downs, is that Surrey Hills area? If so, I spoke to Beardee during the week and he mentioned that alot of the trials have been messed up due to tree harvesting.

Wow those photos are crazy. I was back home on the weekend riding cannop and it was pure dusty trails. Even a local pump track in the middle of a forest was dry. 30c for the next few days so that should dry everything out nicely - just in time for it to hammer down again no doubt.

Festa, did you ride through Warley at all if so hows that looking? Been wanting to get out but going on how your bike looks riding there will do more harm than good to the jumps and downhill runs.

Epping is finally drying out as of Wednesday night, there a dry lines throug most bits and I think the rain may miss us this week so hopefully Saturday is the day to make the most of it.

Danbury is predictably dry and fast, barely any dust but eye protection required for the bugs

Warley is soft and with odd damp patches, mainly good on the runs though

Went to Aston Hill last night for a blast. Was running really dry, the driest it's been this summer. However, last nights rain may have had something to say about the conditions.

Checked out Epping for the first time in a month last Sunday - the usual bad bits are still bad, but can be avoided and dry lines can be found through most of it. my usual loop up Bury Wood towards the tea hutt via Wellington Hill was definitely rideable, but probably not as dry and flowy as most of you are used to for this time of year. the welli jumps were still a goer though :D

bring on this weekend!!!!
