All now open and riding luvverly. Was up there yesterday and did the Donkey on me tod to have a look-see.
IMO High Voltage has been improved, jumps are jumpier and they've stuck some berms on the corners - result is it flows much better than before - great job done there.
Devils staircase is much the same but they've repaired the actual stairs so you can't roll them quite as easy - again an improvement.
Kit Bag/Zig Zak is exactly the same - good to have it back though.
Enjoyed the ride - might be doing the Donkey more often now.

Bits of new stone, some bigger drop offs - nothing major but a definite improvement on before. Kitbag the trail I meant - the bit that leads onto ZigZak - the real kitbag road climb has always been open yer gonk |

Rode it this morning and the rain has not been kind to some of the new surface, it was just mashed up puddles of mud by 10.30. The new stairs on devils staircase are good, but I dont think the rest of it will last long. It shouldn't have been opened on such a wet weekend. I bet they will have to close it to fix it again, unless it drys out well:'-(

I did think on Friday that some of the surfacing looked a bit 'delicate' and that was on a hot, bone dry, day.

I'm going up in an hour or two, will be exploring but I'll incorporate the Dog and Devils Staircase into the ride just to have a look see at how it's holding up.

I'm easy - I'll go with the flow but was hoping Jay would be out as he showed me some cracking new cheeky trails last week. Unfortunately not 100% sure I can find em without some wandering so I'll leave it with you lads.

I'm not fussed what route we take. It would be nice to see some off piste stuff as I usually stick to the dog and monkey.

I am mate! Probably just as well Jay can't make it as I ride regular and can't keep up with that bugger! I'll be at Marquis at 10, blowing out me ringpiece as I've got to ride there.  |
