Meeting some friends at the FoD on Sunday for a blast round some of the trails but after the recent weather does anyone in STW-World know how they're holding up?

Cheers

From previous winter experience: Man made ones will be fine, puddly but fine. Cheeky / natural ones will be a soddon mess and best avoided.

The FOD takes ages to dry out.

Was there last week and it was wet and slsippy on the verderers, but still rideable. One close off but you should be ok

Was there yesterday and today, man made stuff, the short section I ride was ok. Natural stuff depending on where you go is all good. Fod drains pretty well as it's not clay.

Soaking wet would be the best discretion or a bog ha ha

The beauty with the FoD is even if it's muddy it doesn't stick to your tyres , it was fiine on Boxing day .
Going again tomorrow .
