My new bike arrived yesterday and I wanted to give it a run out at Woburn tomorrow but if it's rained half as much as it has here today then the trails will be a state.
Yes I know the trails there drain well but I haven't seen this much rain in a long, long time.

I can't tell you about the trails but I'm just up the road at centerparcs. It "cloud burst" for about 30 minutes at about 1 this afternoon, I got soaked to the skin in about 90 seconds, proper biblical stuff. But stopped pretty quick and has been dry since. No rain for the last few days. I'm from North Wales, I'd call it dry ๐Ÿ™‚

Should be fine. It was dry last night so any rain will soak in easily.
Enjoy it's riding really well at the moment.

Dean, yeah a lot of it has been re built now at least for the DH side of things. Not all lines are open yet and some shut permanently to comply with the new rules. The main ones such as Transfer, Moto and Hip are all open though. So glad as its my local, feels awesome to ride there again after months of Chicksands ๐Ÿ™‚ Conditions should be great as well, it was too sandy last week but the rain should have sorted it out. I'll hopefully be down on Sunday.
