    Was there yesterday seemed fine*

    *I normally ride round bristol, which slightly recalibrates one’s definition of “muddy”

    plus, lots and lots of trees lying across it

    there were a few snowy/icy patches around yesterday, mostly where there had been no sun or users had compacted the snow to ice (ie around car parks or walking routes), otherwise wet with lots of temporary streams across tracks,

    mud is not a massive issue in the FoD as it isn’t claggy and the place drains well, I rarely use mud specific tyres and i live here,

    I wish this were true for my favourite bit of FOD, the new-ish table-top to double with the run-in.
    Such good fun last summer, but totally unrideable* last few months 😥

    *If you like boosting them for whips etc. Sludge-fest!

    Been out this morning, snow has pretty much gone, puddles were frozen , Mud not sticky. Ice in the car park was the biggest hazard

    poor drainage shouldn’t exist on man made trails, phone up the DTV, lol
