How does this handle the wet conditions?
Would it be rideable today ?

Depends on the section

Cool thanks
I'll probably skip it for today .
Gonna check it out when the weather gets better

The section adjacent to Jefferson Lake (close to Waterloo Road) will be a complete mess; although this is only 100' long. There will be some other very wet spots between the Wavin' Willy TH and White Hall Rd and again past KSVP heading in towards Newton.

The balance could be ok to ride later this afternoon as the sun dries it up a bit.

thanks @ReggieHammond
Was going to take Zoe over there today but we'll wait till it's less muddy and stick to some paved stuff/powerlines.
How bad is the one section of road that you have to ride? Is it very dangerous?

You never really ride the road, but rather cross it at several locations. The crossing of Rt 206 into KSVP is the most dangerous as Rt 206 can get pretty busy depending on the time of day. It's not terrible by any stretch of the means, but one to be careful. Other than that, you'll be crossing much smaller roads with minimal traffic.
