    So did I pass any of you guys today on the southern trails.... A group of 3 at the tear drop, then said hello when stopped above studley park boathouse descent. (One beardy tattoed gent and two others?)

    Just back from a big overseas trip recently and found the loop up by the rehab centre above the yarra blvd is closed off.... When did this happen? Any areas opened up in compensation?

    Yep, agreed, always avoided this section, or walked over the top. A certain fear of death/swimming in the yarra with my feet clipped onto a bike have made me a little concerned... What changes were you thinking of?

    Yikes to both snakes and nude blokes! That's my local area from abbotsford. Formal apology for the eye sore I am currently riding. I am on a fluoro yellow FS superfly. It is not mine, it is a demo, and I will pay for anyone who needs sunglasses going past. Also thanks to the bloke who checked...

    If I am thinking of the same rock, I saw a cyclocross rider who had caught his peddle the other day. Buried in the grass by a short climb?

    Out at crack of dawn this morning and came across the elusive kangaroo! Seemed to be a happy soul as he skipped his way past me. Otherwise only came across one rider at about 7.30am by the pipe bridge and many runners. Any news of a meet?

    I think some rotorburn helmet badges would be handy as I was out in the area at about 1ish for a quick whizz out. Very good conditions and nice quiet roads.

    I saw the changes to the trail around the royal talbot. I rode them this morning and someone has been busy rearranging the logs to close off the 'new' trail. I do think however it maybe worth putting something across the top of the new rail, where it leaves the main loop by the bench. Maybe some...
