Mostly dry with some small mud puddles along the trail. A few poison oak vines are peeking out into the trail, so be careful to dodge them.

Rideable even in the steep uphill section. I almost cleared it even in not the best shape . Steeper than the last big hill where mezue turns into San Pablo ridge but definitely still rideable….eat your wheaties beforehand!

Coming from Wildcat was mostly fine. Not too slippery, but I couldn't cross the creek. It's probably doable with some rock hopping but a mistake and you're going swimming
