It's unrideable, there are 4 ft deep holes in it just after the tunnel!
Oh, and the correct name is Tunnel of Love ๐Ÿ˜†

Most other tracks/ trails are fine again.

4 ft deep holes
Can you pop your front wheel/clear them or are they literally like potholes? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

BIG holes! I think most folk would struggle to clear them.
The descent to the Railway Station from there is pretty washed out too

If that's the one I rode with ton the other week it's a mess. 75% walkage tbh ๐Ÿ™

(that's not saying much in my case though ๐Ÿ˜ณ )

Don't bother.

Me and the Mrs were up there last week, the section after tunnel is actually a pretty good challenge to clean and its worth pushing back to tunnel to session. Rest of it is crap, you'd need a 29er to ride it ๐Ÿ™‚
