Ha ha, yeah true that. We rode some single track that went away from the river, and kept surprising all of these guys, of all ages, then I noticed a tree had lots of weird blossoms... used dingers. Uh oh, sorry.
BTW, I couldn’t care less if you bat for the other side. To each their own.

New year off to a flying start.
Rode the epic Lake Mountain to Marysville trail. 29km all the way down to Marysville. Heaps of work put into the trail with new A lines up the top section.
Hitch hiked for the first time lol. The staff of Lake Mountain are champions, spotted me riding half way to the top and stopped to offer a lift
Threw my bike in the back of their ute.
Saw my first ever snake while riding. Luckily it was on a slow uphill section so I just stopped and it slithered off into the bush.

Great, so it is open then.
We had a couple of goes at it, a month or so ago, riding up from Marysville... but there was so many trees down, we didn’t get too far. The second time we rode along the river then up a fire trail which got us further up, but there was still heaps of trees down.
You were lucky to get a lift.
29 km of mainly down, would be awesome.

It has a surprising amount of up in it!
Strava tells me I did 497m up the road before getting the lift, on the way back down I did 668m of up!
There was some massive trees that had been cleared, not a single one blocking the trail for the entire length now.

From Marysville? Beaut.
Yep, the trails are on my doorstep so dodging snakes is the price that has to be paid to ride.. Numbers are down this season only seen 4-5..

Inland from Gracetown is Middle Earth which I haven't ridden yet but have seen varying reports from "so awesome" to "meh it's more of an XC trail" However you'll have Meelup to the north, and Margaret River to the south, about 30 mins drive to either one. They both have some decent gravity oriented trails.

Thanks for all the bananas
Went for a new year's ride around Smithfield (Cairns) and finally got up one of the hills without pushing (progress!).
Small victories but they all count right?!

It's a big victory for riding this time of year up there on its own.

Bloody hell - good effort on that one! Don't think that one's going to tweak back into line...First ride of 2020 yesterday, going downhill, front wheel kicked up a large rock, hit the rear derailleur, nice morning for a walk.. Expensive start to the decade..

Young fella wanted to go to the skatepark at Kirkham (Camden) so I loaded the bike up and belted out a lap of the river trail while he did his thing on the ramps. Unsurprisingly it's getting extremely sandy and loose out there; had a few close calls on the way back so eased off the pedal a bit, given that I was riding alone. It would, however, appear that Nick Cave passed through just before me....

I was just riding along...
I'd been having a blast out at Forrest. Belted down Foxtail for my second lap, and was on my way back to the car park when I started hearing this godawful creaking. My first thought was, "I hope the dropper doesn't need servicing already, it's not that old." Looked down, and...
