righto, stick to the road riding for now then. sorry for the lack of observance...
Lysterfield track closures
- Thread starter ando_assi
- Start date
What constitutes 'internal'? We were hoping to park at lysterfield on Saturday, ride up Logan track, cross Wellington Rd and ride up Dargon track on the way out to Olinda.
If we park off wellington rd and head up dargon, is that still part of the park and subject to the same closures?
Cheers.

Well, scratch that idea anyway. Just checked the parks website for Dandenong Ranges park and all tracks bar 2 are closed anyway, so no way up to Olinda for us anyhow.
Raining here again as we speak, more forecast for tomorrow & Saturday, so looks like no riding any time soon.

Where to ride ?
With the Lysterfield trails closed - where else do people go for a trail ride ? I'm in Glen Waverley - somewhere nearby - Lysterfield was perfect (location).
Any thoughts / suggestions...? Have ridden You Yangs - but that's closed too !

makes you wonder what kind of toxic stuff is under the You Yangs? Assume the pipes would be at the bottom of the DH runs in the large pit area.
....and? How many from Melbourne who usually ride Lysterfield on a weekly basis (and were going to come anyway) will this stop from coming? There was actually talk of a couple of days over this weekend, so anyone can come if they had any time.
As always no pressure for anyone to come, it's actually been great what is now happening and everyone including myself have been asking for.
Come down meet some new people, have some fun and next time you ride certain sections you'll know you helped build it.
...also on the same token...
The LDTR AGM is on 4th of April 7:30pm at Trail Mix,
Please come along, even go for a position, a committee position is minimum 7 meeting a year! (we have meetings most months)
It would be great to get some new faces! LDTR is what ever the members/riders want it to be!!
so that would be the 4th, 9th, 22nd & 23rd (what have i got my self in too?)

Given also that the park is still closed and is advertised as remaining so for some time (my highlighting btw):
http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=136
By advertising this aren't you putting people in line to be fined for entering the Park? Easter isn't until the end of April - around the 24/25th.
PV hopefully are putting on the bbq again so think they'll ease off on the fines for trail building. Was there a point to this?
With respect then - PV need to state this publically because, at this stage, the PV site states the park is closed except for the picnic area.
And whether it is through the Lysterfield District Trail Riders or Uncle Joes Fly By Night Sausage Factory, there is nothing I see that states they have any 'official' recognition by anyone....sorry.
Besides I still find it odd that a MTB club (any club) will schedule something like this on a day one of their own State Series events is on. Regardless of the audience it is aimed at.
Is that somewhere in writing or just wishful thinking?
Why does PV have to state this? they have said they work work LDTR before? My phone number is on some of the signs out there put up by PV (saying "if you want to get involved with the trail building ring (my mobile)"...
It is incidental that it is the same day as a state round but, it is to coincide with a contractor...
If you would like to contact me, please PM me regarding any of these issues...
LDTR has organized approx 800 volunteer hours this year at Lysty, i'm sure this buys us slightly more rep, than a sausage factory!
