With spring in the air, any dry trails around yet? Was at Brayton Wood nr Selby last week and couldnt believe how dry the trails were. The Peaks in places is getting better though in others its very wet and claggy...? Whats Dalby like at the mo???

The jump track in Leicester was really dry for the past 2 weeks til Friday when it lashed it down ๐Ÿ™ Haven't tried it since, but I think its been quite dry so hopefully it's riding fast again.

Out round N of Watford / St Albans / Bricket wood way today. Much better than it has been but still need to be a bit selective where you go.

Lovely dry trails in Moray yesterday. Just rained now but not much. You don't have to go far to find deep snow though.

Just done a fell race on Shatton Moor (to the south east of Hope) and it was astoundingly dry - just enough give for grip, otherwise like summer (appart from the freezing wind, but I guess that's partly what's drying the trails)

Mainly dry out Glossop/Rowarth way, but the odd bit of ice (?!) still around, ended up ditching it the other day on the other side of Lantern Pike when front wheel washed out on unexpected ice patch (quite funny though ended up holding onto the bike whilst hopping alongside it till it stopped sliding with my other foot throuh the middle of the frame!).

Chatsworth and Bakewell in the White Peak were fairly dry today, just one or two bits that were still wet, not muddy tho - well to be fair there was some muddy bits but they had a dry line or two through them - does that count? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yep, Mendip is reasonably dry. Spent a couple of hours fooling/trashing around Stockhill on the pixie trails - brilliant, I neither fell nor stalled due to the grip available. YES!

Blairadam has been so dry I've ridden there thrice this week. I thought I'd used up all the good days so me and a mate did a road ride up around Pitlochry and it poured on us.

Mendips is most certainly dry and sunny too. There is dust on my forks!

Did a couple of hours around Blackdown, Burrington Ham and Roeberrow.

What a nice welcome back after a glorious week in North Wales, it was pretty dry there too.

Devon.
Jam bo:
Next door neighbour rolled their horse paddocks today and sent up clouds of dust behind the tractor. Thought i saw a gorse fire out Hameldon way on thursday on way home, so must be dry up there.
Managed to nip out yesterday for a quick reminder of what riding is, following string of colds. Trails really nice. Bit of give but almost dusty. Just the large puddles still visible but shrinking.
Don't worry though, I think it might be wet by the weekend.....
