I'm in, though I'm only doing the 33km race.

I'm going to ride the trails starting at the rangers hut about 10am on Sunday, anyone interested?

Tracks

Apart from a boggy patch about half way down Travs the tracks are all in excellent condition.

The changes made to Cressy are minor but could catch you out if you are not aware.

I hadn't ridden Travs for a while, I like the new rock paths around the boulders near the bottom.

Can't wait for race day.

You Yangs Today

I rode lots of the Yowie circuit today.

The muddy patch half way down Travs is now a full blown bog, and there are quite a few other mud patches. I got wet and muddy tyres and fell off at the rock garden at the bottom.
The steep bit of Vomit has a water cut groove right down the middle and there are many mud patches in the Plantation area.
All in all, when you finish a ride wet, muddy, bruised, bloody, and exhausted, you had a good day.

But hopefully this lovely sunny weather will dry things out over the next couple of weeks before the race.

ARE YOU ENTERED YET??????
