So where to ride this weekend?

[Big Tim]

Yarra will be under 6 feet of mud.

Red Hill is a wash out

Forget lysterfield i would say.

Youies maybe? The bottom will be dry at least. Ideas anyone? Just a conversation starter guys, no need for any major arguments.

 

[Tubeless]

Ride on your roof if the ground is too wet.

 

[wkkie]

Got an exercise bike?

All the trails at the Youies are still closed.

 

[Spike-X]

All trails at the You Yangs are closed until further notice. And with the way it pissed down here (Geelong) again today, I don't expect further notice to be in time for the weekend.

Not quite Victoria but damn close... Coomealla!!!!

Ours is not to reason why. Merely to point and giggle.

This is buxton opening week. I wonder if its still on?

I usualyl just run a gravel grind somewhere.

 

[Tubeless]

Ride urban. Stair cases, visit the hairdressers and wheelie in quiet carparks.

yeah seriously suggest not riding Buxton or Redhill even if not officially closed.

Yeah I am super surprised they haven't just said don't go.

Pity, I always anticipate the opening of buxton every year after winter.

Shows what I know! Trails are open again as of this morning.

Bendigo and castlemaine always hold up well after a good rain.

 

[Big Tim]

Nice to see you all responding.

Could you image Buxton at the minute. Like cat shit on lino.

I thought Youies might re-open. It drains fast.

I wonder how bad lystie is? Anyone tried it out recently.

 

[The Duckmeister]

I last rode Lysty about three weeks ago. Comm Games loop & the Hug/Blair Witch side were good, but the rest pretty shit & mucky, and I can't imagine it being anything but worse after the past week.

Red Hill is really good; was down there today for a bit of pruning and did a ride after. Bit squidgy across the bottom of the hill 'cos it gets all the runoff from above, but everything else is great. Beauty of being on a north-facing steep sandy/gravelly/rocky slope, it doesn't take long to drain! Didn't go right up the top to the roadside stuff, but that won't be so rosy....

 

[Jesterarts]

Was out at Lysterfield today with a mate. Was pretty good actually.

 

[Big Tim]

Well o ended up doing a short ride on yarra trails. Started at the bridge at the end of high st and wandered back in a big loop to bulleen rs. All in all it was in much better nick than i thought. I skipped a couple of sections like the paddock, i figured that would be all mud, it usually is after that much rain.

Anyway i hope you all got a ride in.

 

[Kerplunk]

Candlebark was in pretty good nick too only the odd puddle. Would be dry as dog nuts by now.
Some parts of the yt are drying up ok, keep clear of the usual wet bits though.

 

[The Duckmeister]

Red Hill will be closed to general use this weekend (24th-25th) because of Gravity Endooro event.
