Just wondering what trail conditions and closures due to logging are like? Still worth going tomorrow?

Not long back, Zoom or Bust and the blue trails are riding well. Did not ride any of the reds. Fairly wet but miles better than being stuck indoors ๐Ÿ˜€

There was racing at Innerleithen not sure if it will be on tomorrow as well could not get parked in car park.

Inners will be busy again tomorrow. It's round three of the Winter Series (this weekend is the DH leg) this weekend

THe DH races at Inners have pretty much zero effect on the XC route.

Indeed, the car park however is likely to be rammed

I'm pretty sure that there'll be somewhere in town to park and lets face it - the dude is pretty much guaranteed to be on a bike. Problem solved.

Weather is meant to be nice from late morning, but it's pretty miserable looking out the window at the moment. Some rain/sleat.

Just back myself. Almost recovered full feeling in my feet! Perfect day apart from that.

Have to say I like these closures, no longer feeling like I'm cheating by not bothering to do Spooky... And leaves some extra leg for doing the better stuff twice. Lovely :mrgreen:

SBZ, if you read my post again you'll notice that I said "awesome" and "fun" not "rubbish" and "ruined"

Yeah loss of feeling was a bit of a problem in our group too!
