The fireroad is ok on the bit they're logging, but further up it was too icy to ride on safely without studs

The singletrack was better because there's less compacted ice, and it's mainly crunchy, but there's still unexpected icy bits which make it interesting. This is the bit at the bottom of View Rock:

It was raining lightly when I finished so it's quite possible all the ice will disappear overnight. The course should be rideable tomorrow if you watch out for icy bits.
