You weren't at Plenty Gorge as well? Went there on Friday and mind blown at what the lockdown trail monkeys have been up to... hopefully some of it survives as part of the Pick My Project trail sanctioning going on there.Rode my bike on Friday. was hoping to add a couple more rides over the ret of the weekend but nup. Was nice to ride up a hill and down some actual trails. Locals have been busy in the local national park over lock down. what were lightly used scratchings are now foot wide hard pack trails. plenty of new options. Parks will be pissed. Me, I'd like to try a few before they get closed.
You ride Case of Spades? Had a roll down on Wednesday afternoon and was well impressed by the work the kids have been doing. Apparently Parks have already told them it'll be dozed but that was a couple of weeks ago and it's still standing so who knows... Place was packed on Friday!You weren't at Plenty Gorge as well?

No, I was in the Dandenongs. The shovels have been out.You weren't at Plenty Gorge as well? Went there on Friday and mind blown at what the lockdown trail monkeys have been up to... hopefully some of it survives as part of the Pick My Project trail sanctioning going on there.
Yeah I was too! Dunno how drainage and erosion is fairing but there's clearly been a lot of thought put into what I saw - solid berms, good run ins to jumps, clear lines. Just have to wait and see how much of it has been cut into areas of environmental or cultural significance (there's a fair bit of both there) and hopefully some of it will survive.You ride Case of Spades?

A lot of new trail has gone in over the last 3 years so it all links up better.. Not sure where you used to ride but the middle gorge between the tank and gorge rd has some really nice trails that form a loop.. Nothing enduro style but just good undulating trail riding..Interestingly it looked like a lot of the older trails I used to ride there have barely been ridden recently.
Is that the trail that runs down parallel to the gravel road?You ride Case of Spades? Had a roll down on Wednesday afternoon and was well impressed by the work the kids have been doing.

The power of whinging is amazing stuff.Is that the trail that runs down parallel to the gravel road?
Gf and I took the dogs for a walk there on Friday arvo. I'd never been out there and was pretty impressed with what they have there, even though it would be really short it looks like heaps of fun.
Bumped into two other dog walkers out there - I didn't mention anything about being an MTBer myself, but both of them bought up how busy it had been in their streets in an annoyed sort of way. I reakon it's probably that, more than the nature of the trails themselves that will get them knocked down in the end. Sucks really.
Jealous AF but moreso than last pic you posted.Two more weeks of slapping and then there will be some super cases coming in.View attachment 368655

Yep that’s the one. I kinda feel for the locals to be honest, the streets were absolutely flooded with bike riders and their cars on Friday. Once we’re allowed to go more than 25km they’ll disperse - it’s just because it’s the only actual MTB tracks within the radius of inner Melb. I know it wouldn’t be my choice if I could get to Silvan or Red Hill or really anywhere else aha!Is that the trail that runs down parallel to the gravel road?

It’s close to me so i’m a bit biased, but I would rather ride the gorge any time over Lysty.. Even the kids jump lines work better..I know it wouldn’t be my choice if I could get to Silvan or Red Hill or really anywhere else aha!
Hah yeah I forgot Lysty exists PG over Lysty any day. Sleep ins over Lysty tbh.It’s close to me so i’m a bit biased, but I would rather ride the gorge any time over Lysty.. Even the kids jump lines work better..
