+1Most other trails, particularly the ones I'm familiar with here in Vic, are rated higher than they should be, creating a false sense of ability for some.

Yahhhh, you have no one to go first and do ceremonial spider web clearing duties?I planted face-first into a huge full circle spider web on a rocky descent, my face neatly hit the centre of the web like a bullseye and it totally wrapped around my face.
I have found Strava to be...let's say 'inconsistent' at times.Strava is lying to you?
I'm like the test guinea pig. I couldn't take a hand off the bar to scoop it out of the way, the descent was too steep to risk it.Yahhhh, you have no one to go first and do ceremonial spider web clearing duties?
You chose wisely. A would always prefer an orb weaver under my helmet than an OTB at speed down a hillI'm like the test guinea pig. I couldn't take a hand off the bar to scoop it out of the way, the descent was too steep to risk it.
Any footage of the trail??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.
I'm confused - I thought a berm was very much the opposite of off camberIMO the trail ratings are not IMBA but more park oriented. The green trails are the "easiest", blue's harder etc. On green room as an example a lot of the corners are steep off camber berms that tighten on exits with drops on the outside so if you get it wrong, it's a decent fall down into the bush.
I had to ponder that one too. I think he means the entry and exits to the berms?I'm confused - I thought a berm was very much the opposite of off camber
Watch out for those sneaky spiders, a mate of mine got bitten next to his eye by a redback that wandered into his motorbike helmet left on the ground next to his bike. Much pain !He must have found a safe space in the helmet.
That'd suck. I've been redbacked twice. It's no fun, and mine were nowhere near the face. I don't mind spiders, but redbacks can get farked. I'm giving my helmet a dose of Aeroguard now.Watch out for those sneaky spiders, a mate of mine got bitten next to his eye by a redback that wandered into his motorbike helmet left on the ground next to his bike.

+2, I rode Lysterfield last week and got shown around the park a bit, the place is really well marked out compared to anything up here but the ratings are very far fetched, sure if you're going Mach 9 on some of the black diamond marked trails they deserve that rating but otherwise, not so much.
Back a couple of pages mate, I'll stick it in the Lake Mountain thread also for easy reference.Any footage of the trail??
It depends on which side of the berm you're on.I'm confused - I thought a berm was very much the opposite of off camber
Thanks.Back a couple of pages mate, I'll stick it in the Lake Mountain thread also for easy reference.
