YES thank you. Planning to visit here soon. Is anything closed or washed out by rain?

[@MTBMOR]

I have been riding here lately because everything else is too muddy. Everything has been able to dry out between rains. There were a few muddy sections on Machete in the shaded areas, but other then that it was good. I just checked with Strava and people say it is dry.

Nice footage! Where is Machete?? I know the other 2 trails well.

[@SKBPM_ENIGMATIK]

@@Riceboy1051x I think it might be "Ripper" under a different name.

S. Khan Machete located after the gate, not far from Arroyo Trabuco trail.

@@SKBPM_ENIGMATIK Ripper is the bottom part of Machete. The entrance to Machete is easy to miss. It's after you return to the trail from Antonio. Normally, you ride a paved path, then turn right onto the dirt by a gravel path. If you turn left and follow the paved path there is a single track path you will see that is Machete.
