is anyone planning on riding OMV this thursday?
Keen to get some laps in, haven't been in a while!

No neck brace, just a big yellow Leatt sticker on his forks! Unfortunately I didn't have my phone on me at the time to get some happy snaps of the offender!
I did tell him I was off to call the Ranger - empty threat though as I don't even have the number!

had a short stint at omv today after taking my daughter to the pool this morning.
all trails are open - no signage up for closures on any section but..... lava flow section is still pretty wet in parts. don't get me wrong its a lot of fun but a bit more time to dry out would be good. i had one run through it then gave it a wide berth. traction is good atm and it was only 20c down in the valley, so nice and cool for riding.

Rode OMV yesterday, track is in good shape but the southern loop could benefit from warmer weather to help it dry out!
My only gripe from yesterday was the amount of people stopped blocking the trail, especially groups of riders blocking the entry/exit of the southern loops! By all means stop to have a breather or if you have a mechanical - but move off the track! If someone has crashed send someone further along the trail to slow down/warn following riders!

I also rode OMV yesterday, definitely still a bit wet on the back loop. I think that back section will always take ages to dry up. There were heaps of people there yesterday, more than I've ever seen, might just be due to the slightly warmer weather and rain finally clearing up.
Does anyone know why the ambulance and police vehicles were there at around 7.30ish?
Hopefully any hurt riders are recovering well, just unsure why police would need to be there...

I believe the police have the keys to the fireroad gate
and with the police station just round the corner, they are usually the first ones to arrive

Anyone know if OMV is open today?
Unsure of condition given, we've had a period of dry weather and yesterday's downpour... Wonder how it's draining?

Def recommend it camo; don't be put off by the fact that the trails are only short. Their are several loops that can be joined together in various combinations. Great fun and REALLY well constructed trails.

It's great fun Cam... but being so short you might get sick of it fairly quick... I get about 6 laps before it's time to go elsewhere.. So plan your day accordingly if you are anything like me.

given Cam goes for casual 130km MTB pedals.... the <6kms at OMV will be childs play for him.....
Cam... if and when you DO hit up OMV..... give me a shout! I'll take you a sweet little trail down the road which you'll love more than OMV

slightly off topic post.....
anyone into their car/washing/detailing/maintenance?
I parked under the trees towards to trail head a few days in a row (rode 4 times over 5 days) and noticed tiny droplets of sap ALL over the car/windows.
so if you're a crazy detailer/car enthusiast... park towards the old factory
