    Favourite descent at Mt beauty

    I am heading up to Mt Beauty for a couple of days soon. I have seen a map of the Mt Beauty tacks, and it looks a bit of a maze. Being a family holiday I will not have time to explore them all, but I am hoping to con my way into a couple of shuttle runs over the weekend. I am interested in your...

    Kids downhill bikes 24” wheel

    My soon to be 9 YO son is about to outgrow his 20” GT Chucker. Does anybody out there have any experience or suggestions in the 24” wheel downhill style bikes? The 2 main ones I know of are the Kona Stinky 24 and the Norco B-line (apparently the importers are not bringing in the B-line this...

    Wombat Burning-off

    I was out at Wombat yesterday morning and the Daylesford CFA were there about to start burning off. They were a little unsure the exact region but it sounded like south/west of fingerpost Rd down to Burnt Mill Rd. That does encompass much of the mountain bike tracks.

    Video , Bandages or glory Downhill race up on youtube

    I have posted some video of Bandages and Glory from the down hill race on Sunday. Unfortunately I was only there for about ½ an hour, and I missed elite. I think it is mainly the old guys, hardtails and the young guns. Still, I guess these guys don’t usully get featured in video's. It covers...

    Nerrina Downhill tracks

    I have an aerial shot of Nerrina attached. I thought it might be useful if those in the know could add where the downhill tracks are. I am not sure where the tracks are so one of the pictures is quite a wide area, and the other is zoomed in. Use whichever is appropriate. Maybe we could colour...
