Conditions were good tonight, will be mint on Saturday. Just a few soggy spots and puddles on flatter tracks. Lyre lyre, was spot on, bottle caps and jjs only a little slick
If that creek trail down below JJ's is as dry as it looks in the photo, we're in for a treat! Thanks to the condition report :)

No problems guys.

Rode every trail today and only a couple of parts still holding moisture with another day and a half to dry :)
We're in for a good day fellers!

Post ride downtube mud check!
All from a couple of flat trails low next to the creek.

Northern trails bone dry and fast.
Lyre Lyre perfect
JJ's one corner a bit slippy but you would have to be hooking it to bother you.
Bottlecaps still a little sketchy fast but otherwise ok.

I’m rethinking my tyre choice :oops:

Thanks for sussing out the trails @Chriso_29er!

Group 2 guys, we'll start at the footy field with the rest of the Burners.
The second option route that I mentioned will give you a good idea of what Silvan has to offer to see if you want to come back so we'll do that.

Lets start cranking at 12.30.
If you can aim to get there just after 12 to gear up and in case you hit any unexpected traffic that would be ace.

Bring a snack for mid ride munchies.

Could not ask for better conditions!

I went in this morning to give a trail report, seems like I've been beaten to it.

Should be good by the afternoon for the meet ups - still greasy AF in the mornings.

Thanks Hakan,

Group 1, will see you around the same time at the Mt Evelyn Footy field.
70 Tramway Rd, Mount Evelyn VIC 3796
Geared up ready to hit the trails at 12:30pm

Quick note that it is fully self supported, there is no easy spot to top up water etc
Group 1, Be prepared for a good 3yrs of ride time.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers,
Chris
