Descending it can get pretty skatey during summer with all the loose stuff.
I enjoy that ST "both ways" given that it's on the way to Hans for me, and on my way home if I'm not too shagged... The power-line climb with the SS is so very painful.
That's just showing off! FWIW we had a gorgeous autumn day here.
What's your arse doing at 12:30?
I do that loop both ways and going over the water bar at speed down the hill can be a bit hairy. The rocks are railway track size and move a bit in sections. Good fun though. The climb definitely has a technique to it as well as needing fitness. The single track that leads back to the main yarra trail is fast and flowy. You have to open one gate and jump another to access it then climb over the fence my bike is resting against below.
That's all wrong. But I don't think anyone on here would fall for that shit knowing the area. I'm an ambo and from the description he gave he was putting it on.it did sound a bit more psych pt rather than poof though. Maybe a bit of both
I fall for it 2 or 3 times a week. One bloke was in a bad way after being bitten by a venomous snake. I saved his life by sucking the poison out. He was fine after that.
It might've been the same bloke, because I had to rescue him from hypothermia (mid-summer mind you) by getting naked and hugging tight!!! :whistle:
But you've been best friends since.
He said he'd call me but the bastard never did.
Didn't even buy you dinner. I'll buy you dinner PB. But you're a dead man if you ever get bitten........
Personal choice I guess, but for me that whole section we're discussing is a better (more fun) ride in the opposite direction. Fast & loose down under the power lines boosting on the water bars, then gentle (mostly) elevation loss all the way back to MM creek. The only reason I climb a hill is for the descent, so that's why I take the old hillclimb route (insanely hard to ride up even though it's only 30 - 40m long, but at least it's over and done with quick & short). Quick spin through the streets filled with expensive-but-butt-ugly houses, and I'm at the top of the powerlines ready for a nice long descent.
We moved that big ass tree out the way yesterday mid day, it has been there for a couple days at least.
Ah, I hate those things. Most uncomfortable thing to breathe them in.
