Going to BPW this weekend for the first time. Does anyone know what the trail conditions are like right now? As a trail centre I'm hoping it's quite well drained compared to everything being a bog around where I live.
What should I expect?

Thanks

The BPW instagram feed has been championing its dusty trails (!) . The place drains really well, so if the rain holds off and the cloud cover keeps the temps mild then it should be a decent weekend.
I'll be there on Saturday, might even be a shorts rather than trousers day!

IME it drains very well and rides well in the wet.

As you'd hope for a year-round uplifted bike park in Wales!

All in all pretty good today with very little sloppy mud or puddles, running a bit slower than when it's wetter as there is a thin film of not mudish stuff on the rocks so grippier when it's actually wet if that makes sense.
Bike still needed a clean.

Yes I have noticed that. More grip when slightly damp than when dusty.

Sadly I have next Friday booked. I dont mind the odd shower but it looks terrible next week.

Perfect conditions today, grippy and fast.
Last week was very wet, still loads of trails that are unaffected, but the rooty ones I felt a lot more tentative.
