Whenever possible I try to get to the Tuesday night rides, head out from horsewood Rd at 6. Good riding at night, adds a different spin on familiar trails.Anyone here do twilight rides? It's been a while since I last did (like 3+years). Turns out my batteries have degraded a bit and one of them lost charge around blair witch. Fun times but I don't remember it being this hard running into every possible root out there lol.
In 10 years lysterfield is going to be a 100% green trail but they will keep the gradings. Then people will try ride black runs other places and actually die lol.Why the hell would they modify what was possibly the most unique feature in the area? Its now ruined
But the lystie builders love kickers to flat!Got out for an early start this morning and go bombing down 'sneaky little downhill' from the Servo on Wellington rd.
Set up ready to smash the wall ride berm in the half darkness then realise its been heavily modified and turned into yet another kicker to flat with corresponding additional trail coming in from the right to hit it at the correct angle. Almost came a cropper.

They have also put in a number of other kickers to flat further down the same trail. Could be sketchy, be carful of landing on a poorly angled root the first time you head down.
I was thinking that actually.. e.g Follow Me is rated double black diamond .. anyone who rides that and expects the same at somewhere like Bright is really gonna axe themselves.In 10 years lysterfield is going to be a 100% green trail but they will keep the gradings.

What? Double black? Who rates these trails.But the lystie builders love kickers to flat!

No shit... I used to ride it on my fully sic Anthem and thought it was so gnarly haha.What? Double black? Who rates these trails.
Its a bit like people who ride "all the black runs" at the youiesI was thinking that actually.. e.g Follow Me is rated double black diamond .. anyone who rides that and expects the same at somewhere like Bright is really gonna axe themselves.
Seriously they really need to levelise grading. I remember thinking Queenstown was going to be fun flowy and the bloke at the chair lift insisted I start at green. Amongst me was all sorts of average hacks in mostly giant reigns including a few of the local girls who were on lunch break and still in cafe uniform. Anyway went on a single black and cooked the brakes first go! Said ladies left me for dead.God forbid they go to NZ and point down a single black run for a warm up.
Dirt jump kickers and drops to flat maybe it’s rated double black for xc hardtails? The trail asks too much for the elevation.. Same with the brain hemorrhage trail..What? Double black? Who rates these trails.
Where did you have success with this? I really wouldn't mind knowing more if you feel like sharing.I totally agree with you, it is unfortunate. We did it once before though and it worked.
