Anyone ridden Fod yesterday or recently?

Thinking of heading to Fod tomorrow, its a long trip so was wondering what conditions the trails are in. Specifically the dh trails as want to do the uplift.

Any info much appreciated. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah, but not tomorrow as the OP is asking about.

Conditions are pretty good at the moment. Not had much rain lately so the ground is soft but quite grippy. The race today is using Ski Run, so I'd imagine that will be a bit drier after today.

I was there last weekend and although the trails were wet, they were still pretty grippy. The water was mainly in the form of puddles rather than really boggy trails so you will get wet, but it will still be fun.

Don't let the "wet" description put you off.

PS: I did the uplift so I was riding the DH tracks. I can't comment on the xc stuff if anyone is interested in those.

Dry. It hasn't rained here for a while.
Having said that the downhills don't get wet anyway, they slope.

Less than an hour ago on Twitter, a local magazine writer said:

Quality of dirt on the trails today was indescribably good.

Sounds like a good trip to be had and well worth the travel. Enjoy your Monday!
