Got thursday off so thinking of heading to the FoD and was wondering what the conditions are like at the mo particularly on the red and blue routes?
Cheers
It was icy as an icy whotsit on Saturday. Frozen solid all round and fast as a fast thing.
I suspect, however, that the thaw would have set in now and it'll be a bit moist!
Oooooh sounds fun!
Worth a 2hr trip?
Thawing out up there today. Forecast is mainly dry this week, but tracks will be tacky and muddy in places. There are frosts forecast Tuesday and Wednesday so trails could be frozen Thursday.
Rode the Verderers this morning, had everthing snow/ice in exposed places, but just wet under the trees. Same for Freeminer trail.
If it remains mild should be just wet for Thursday but frost is expected. Surrounding Cannop area had a mixture of snow/wet/muddy conditions.
How are the condutions looking now? Thinking of possibly taking a trip over tomorrow for Verderers and FODCA/Freeminers.
not bad, but a bit muddy on unsurfaced singletracks and the fire-roads due to resurfacing after rally, Verderers and Fodca should be fine,
It was a mud fest last Sunday afternoon! Can't see it being much different today
So it should be somewhere between a little bit muddy and a mud fest 🙂
I rode the blue and red yesterday, both running fine. The final descent on the Verderers is a lot of fun.
Thanks. Not been before so looking forward to it.
We got there just after the rain stopped so it was a bit wet/slimey in places, only one claggy section on Verderers.
Uplift booked tomorrow so fingers crossed for dry weather
