Heading down to the Tocks on Sunday and first ride in a month, just wondering on conditions? Also looking at trying to find the 'Oblivion" descent, whats it like and what are the conditions likely to be? Are there any spots on the descent to be a little cautious on considering the name!!
I was there any xmas eve, worst i've ever seen it! rivers running down most descents, not sure what the weather has been like but i imagine its looking pretty beaten up, but still had a fun day

If oblivion is what I think it is then I'd give it a miss. I've only ridden it in summer and it was a challenge then.
Plenty of other better descents that'll be riding well.
I'll be about tomorrow, conditions will be wet, but fun.
Oblivion has two or more steps into corners and as it's already steep caution isn't really an option as you'll need to commit. I've not been down in ages and the chance of fallen branches etc on the trail are high, it's mulchy at the best of times. Save till summer or after a good long dry spell if you've not been down before, it's alot of high loss if it's messed up. IMHO.
I think I will give it a miss then till its drier.
