Don't worry, we'll use all the nicer climbs lol, nothing over 9%.
Will keep the 20% fire road climbs for next time!
@tkdbboy has already kindly offered to help if anyone is not up for a 1000m day.

Good to have options, I tap out at around 500m elevation gain.

What's the place like for an XC bike?

Depends how seat of the pants you enjoy your XC riding!
All rideable, but way more fun on a bigger bike.
Bottlecaps would be a no go zone on an XC bike, Temple of Zoom is quite good on an XC, used to ride it regularly on my XC hardtail.
The rest varying degrees of b lines around bigger drops and jumps but possible, not sure I would though as still quite rough at speed in the steeper sections, fun factor possibly low?
Also depending on conditions, it's an XC tyre no go zone if even a little damp ha ha.
Heaps of xc guys ride out there.. On the gravity trails you just have to take the b lines unless you have xc seat up, balls of chops..

Isn't Red Hill your local haunt @The Duckmeister ? It's not like you've only ridden Lysterfield on your XC bike...

Hi All,
Well, we're finally out of full lock-down and limited to groups of 10, so its been suggested to try for two groups of 10 at this stage.
Group 1 - 1000m+ / 20 - 25kms - Lead by me
Group 2 - 500 - 600m / 15ish km - Lead by @tkdbboy
Refer original post for full and final details
In a fine balance to give members a bit of notice and also beat the weather, the date has been set for Saturday 13th June.
Hope most can make it, and we may even be at a different lock-down stage by then which should make things easier.
Interested members, if you could please copy and paste the latest version of the below list and add your details into a a post to confirm you can make it. Preferred group of course
Will be great to meet everyone and get out on my local trails with some like minded burners!
This will be a no drop ride, taken easy on the ups, fast as you dare on the way down!
Group 1 - 1000m vert+

Will it be a fast paced 1000+? I got no issue with the elevation..as long as you all aren’t chasing KOM’s up the hill.Hi All,

Anyone is welcome to go for the KOM, but they will be waiting a long while at the top for me. Regroup at top and bottom of every trail, I plan on easy pace up, keep some energy for the descents
