Work Christmas shindig for me, so unfortunately no go.Heading there Thursday arvo if anyone is around and needs a wingman. Weather looking primo.
Yay! Definitely needs it.FYI, Lactic Acid (Track 6) is currently closed for repairs.
Hopefully it doesn’t stay closed too long. Quarry pit track has been closed for months and no signs of repairs taking place.Yay! Definitely needs it.
Yeah, I'm a little concerned about this as well. Not typical You Yangs trail repair time of year (too dry), but peak season.Hopefully it doesn’t stay closed too long. Quarry pit track has been closed for months and no signs of repairs taking place.
They’ve shut it like they did with rollercoaster on track 14 because it’s fcuking dangerous. Come down hot from the platform and you can’t even see the deep ruts after the first little drop until you’re in the middle of them. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone’s come unstuck because of it.Yeah, I'm a little concerned about this as well. Not typical You Yangs trail repair time of year (too dry), but peak season.
Not 100% sure, but the rollercoaster looked open yesterday? It was open at the bottom, and a bloke was having a breather waiting to drop into it at the top. We ended up doing a loop of the park so didn't come back past to see for ourselves.They’ve shut it like they did with rollercoaster on track 14 because it’s fcuking dangerous.

About a year ago I think it was closed for an extended period.Not 100% sure, but the rollercoaster looked open yesterday?

It's such a fun bit of track, but needs some major drainage work to not have the same issue on repeat sadly. I got into the habit of riding it like a slalom by going off the crests onto one side of the trail, then alternating the whole way down. Extra-sketchy, and extra fun (but dear god it's terrifying if you slip into the rut).

Yes. The roller coaster is the fast bit near the drop in for the black diamond section of Junction but heading towards stockyards. Runs parallel to the road.Is 14 Junction Track? It was all open on Saturday morning, but no idea which bit the roller-coaster is. The part of the track on the Kurrajong side was sandy as hell; almost got bogged in places. Stockyards side and the rocks were fine
Strava says it’s 57kph heading down there.
Haha, to be honest I don't know what my top speed through there is. I just mash the pedals a much as possible before dropping in, sometimes after the first crest as well then just speed tuck and stay off the brakes. I used to try and pump the downslopes, but since the refresh the rollers are more like kickers and I tend to get air whether I want it or not!You guys are nuts. Strava says my quickest through there is 52kph and I'm pretty sure I was hanging on for grim death!
I'm clearly going to have to learn how to put the power down
9 tooth and big chainring. Since I’ve gone back to an 11th on the cassette on that bike I can’t find that top end speed now.You guys are nuts. Strava says my quickest through there is 52kph and I'm pretty sure I was hanging on for grim death!
