The lower third is a complete shitshow of mud. Doesn’t look like it will dry out anytime soon. Cannot recommend a lap down Dicksons.

      Rode this in the dry, mostly in the open and exposed so dries faster than most of the area. This is the 'jump trail' of the area (from what I can see). All jumps are rollable/optional - the friend I rode with doesn't jump and had lots of fun too.
      I really enjoyed this trail for just being smooth, flowy and fun and would ride it again.

      Track was really dry when I rode it, is more of a grade 3 with a few grade 4 features, all rollable.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
