Had business in Adelaide after which a colleague and I decided we should drive home to Karntburra via Melrose and the new epic trail. Camped overnight at the caravan park and did the loop the following morning.
Day was unusually cool, so perfect for riding. Trail was a lot of fun but would not recommend to anyone that didn't like tight switchbacks, rocks or was afraid of a little exposure.
Pretty slow average (3:03 riding time for 39.5km, almost 4 hours in total) but we stopped plenty of times to look at the view, take photos and also did some side detours to check out stuff (like Gray's Hut and the Mount Remarkable summit).
Fantastic trail though and worthy of its "epic" status. Top work @Ackland and many thanks to all those involved. Will no doubt get better with time as the track beds in.
