Yay, time to buy up!
VIC ********* Warburton MTB Trails Update *********** PLEASE READ **********
- Thread starter frug
- Start date
Where and who is the best source of information to keep up to date with this? I went over last week to Mt Donna buang, looked around the real estate and had possibly the best parma of my life at the pub along with the best cider.
The original sanitarium building is still caught up in paperwork before its resort rebirth can occur. Want in before its all formally rectified (if ever. )

Is there a simple place to find out exactly which trails are open and allowed to ride?
Seems like 20 different websites with different aged information....

Imagine if Warburton had a chairlift.....
Geez, if they put one on a scrubby hill in texas, they could do great things with a well placed lift in Warby, up Donna Buang or on the other side of the valley.
I'm sure all the NIMBYs and Parks have harumphed the idea out of sight, But it could be the deal sealer to ACTUALLY make Warby a MTB destination.
It should reduce wear and erosion on shuttle access roads to boot, if it were well placed for the best gravity riding.

I don't like their style of trail building and they've gotten most big projects in VIC recently. It'll be good to get more of a mixture of trails out there.

What is wrong with their style? Just curious as they've gifted us some pretty nice runs: Hero (RIP), Black Hill, Harcourt, Mt Taylor and probably more I can't think of.

They seem to have issues grading their trails lol. Parts of Harcort are not blue haha. Caught me by surprise when I had my XC bike and expecting to dogentle blue runs with a relative newb lol. But yeah I rekon a variety is key to decent MTB parks.

Dubious procurement, poor environmental management, lack of response to construction defect liability clauses, sub par construction methodology, inexperienced "builders"......

Maydena is pretty tops though... but in that location they are owner/operators

IMO their trails are just to bizzy.. they pack too many features into a trail and too many trails into a project (case in point Harcourt). They have built some cool trails but it'll just be good to have another trail company in the mix.
why did you say RIP for Hero?

If you're driving 2+ hours it's good to have that many trails. Not sure how variety can be a bad thing...

That's gotta be the first time I've ever heard anyone complain about too many trails haha. Why is too many a bad thing?
The feature argument I don't really understand either, seems we have plenty of tracks with flat stuff. I like lots of features to get the flow happening. But that's subjective.
Hero is pretty dead, top is hard to keep speed for and the bottom is logged.

Relative newbs go on the green ones! Blue = intermediate right?
