I can possibly lead, but definitely sweep, a beginner ride. I haven't been to Jockey in a while so I'm not very confident with knowing my way around, but I'd definitely like to help out with a beginner ride.

Chrissy and I will also be helping out.

I rode parts of Jockey Hill thursday, lots of puddles and full streams and small branches down but still ridable. I did Lollipop, Qman, Wintergreen, New Trail, Bear and bypass. There is a tree covering the New Trail near the bottom but I made an underpass by breaking away some branches so you don't have to get off the bike to get through. If anyone has time to clear stuff on the other side of the dump road today it'll all be good!
