Hey Walker, it makes perfect sense to suggest people ride, get muddy and then pick up a shovel and repair but few roll up their sleeves. Unfortunately the maintenance of these trails is left to a few who obviously get pissed off with the lack of collaboration and support. Those that regularity frequent these pages are old, grumpy, overweight, in continent, xc whippets who carry their bikes over jumps and trail obstacles for fear of falling but they care about the trails and maintenance.
Coming in here swinging your dick in the wind is certainly one way to make a statement but we like to believe we are a community of like minded old fossils. You might find a different approach might reap many benefits at a personal and community level. You might even find a friend, riding pals, a girlfriend/ boyfriend or folks you can sell/ trade stuff to.
They are way too nerdy for me and a bunch of elitist pansies but you know it takes all types.
Peace and kindness to all

and it also helps if you are dealing with a ugly green beast that traditionally lives in caves or under bridges...

i am just so gullible some times, really, i thought i could save him/ he was just misguided, I wish i was more like Dozer and could read a crowd like Moorey. These interweb things are just so convoluted

We actually stuck to the fire road really, only nailed it down the drier sections of hans, before heading home on the bike track.
It was a great ride!

I rode Hans today and it is actually in excellent condition. As usual in winter the 3 dams leak/overflow and there are a few puddles in these areas. As we all know there are some diversions for these sections.
The base is firm generally and not very slippery at all.
The soil at hans is different to most of the Yarra trails and if people stay off it while actively raining or just after a downpour it should hold up well. But it all depends how much rain we get in the next month

+1 I was out at Hans tonight. No probs at all with the surface condition, just keep away from the leaky dam; common sense.
As for the weather, f**k me it was cold!

Could not stop laughing at that Moorey!
It was rather cold last night Jim, but if you went further down stream to Anus Loop, I'm sure they could've warmed you up
