Nice, Middle Earth was a good climbing trail. Not been back since the fires. Indigo is on the wish list.

Did Middle Earth for the first time since the fires a couple of days ago. It is just as magnificent a climbing trail as it was before.
Can't wait for Climbing Ivy to come back online.

The comparison was as much about the climb as it was about the greenery that used to engulf Middle Earth

It's actually surprisingly lush, particularly in the lower reaches.

That last photo wasn't the one I was hoping for. Had to stop way too many times to pull out my phone to check Trailforks to see if I was still on the right trail and missed the sun going behind the next ridge over.

What model dropper post is that?

That old thing? It's retro. So retro in fact that it doesn't even drop any more. Makes a great perch for things like tail lights.

It looks like you took a bite or two out of one of those mushrooms. They aren't supposed to be very good for you unless you boil them first and throw the water away to remove the toxins before frying them up. The other option is to get a reindeer to eat them and drink the reindeer piss.Entered the Mystic

I've never tried either personally.

If I thought they'd keep me warm I would have tried! It was dark by the time I rolled back (expected, hence the lights) and I was faarrkkiing freezing.

If you ate them you would still be out there and I mean that in both senses. On the bright side you would be laughing while you squirt out both ends and get stomach cramps.

Thought that was a discarded tyre at first glance.

Down on the left!
Went for a night ride with @fjohn860 at the You Yangs and saw a bunch of scorpions.(google says it’s a Wood scorpion)
Never seen any there before so was surprised. One had a broken arm and another had a missing arm altogether!
We theorised it must be mating season and they are fighting over the ladies but really NFI.
Heaps of other weird little creepy crawlies out tonight too.

100%... I try to get a lunch ride in, if possible. Just to get out, and forget the corporate shjt, to enjoy just riding and the coastal bush.
Most are just 6kms, some are 10kms, and some are 18kms.
The 18km one usually involves a bought lunch, which negates the benefits of the longer riding time.
A 10km one today, and I didn't get rained on... it was sunny and serene.

Not mine @Lazmo but will be riding it soon - - https://flowmountainbike.com/features/mount-remarkable-epic-preview/
The soon to be open Melrose epic, not sure on the exact length but around 50km for the epic and an additional descending trail from the top of about 7-8km with 600m drop. It also opens up another few awesome loops that used to have some dirt roads to access including a shit of a climb up a road called Hills Rd (appropriately named) then a long dirt road descent to get to the start, this new trail will make riding there a pleasure.
Exciting stuff.
