Melbourne and surrounds ride/riders hub

You know what to do.

@glitch_oz , I know that PAR. Good views from the top, theres a MX track on private land to the west of the highest point.

?PAR?
Never noticed an MX track anywhere along those places.
Maybe something new over the last couple of years? ...who knows.

Public access route. Usually a former gazetted road, but now leased by farmers.

Ah, ok...not familiar with the synonym.
That road is still gazetted and most certainly "PAR", even if the local farmer has been trying to keep the public out for at least a decade or 2.

There's a few more like that around Alexandra

No MX track, either private or public, near there.

Good ride yesterday, with @bigborett on his berg 450 and a few others.
About 70ks of bush, lots of single track and a bit of log jumping. Good times.

Almost killed me.
First ride after lockdown, the bike fitness was suffering a little. The Friday night beers didn't help either I don't think.

A good day.

Next Saturday, want to do a loop somewhere on the 790. Thinking (weather dependent) somewhere south of Traralgon, sandy pine forest and tracks type stuff.
Anyone up for a day ride?

Anyone interested in a possible Wednesday ride?
Maybe, meet Warburton, Big River, Woods Point, Jamieson then back one way or another?

I'll be on my 950SE and there will be tracks involved.

Just a thought at this stage.

Put me down as a maybe. As long as you don’t mind me trying to keep up on a WR250R. Won’t know till tomorrow if I can get out of work but I’m owed a few days off at the moment.

If ya changed it to Friday....... Actually working Wednesday.

Noooo? Surely not.

Will see how things go. Friday looks like a potentially nicer day.

Bump

Want to head out again saturday anyway, not sure where though. Maybe up to Woods point, see if I can get a steak sanga at the pub. Bugger going all the way to jamo though.

Bit sick of the same loops to be honest, would love to head out west a bit more...... a trip for Jan @bigborett ?

A mate at the Albion Hotel Casterton (SW Vic) is looking at putting on a few different bike events.
Casterton already has an annual hillclimb event for bikes thats a good one to go watch. Also looking at a show and shine weekend etc.

Theres heaps of good tracks we found on our last trip there, lots of loamy pine forest and scrub tracks.

No riding for me on Wednesday unfortunatly, rained out of work this morning so no day off!

No interest for tomorrow, so will pull the pin.

Sounds good Richo,

Sorry, I'll be on the recreg bike. Once my 701 is back in action I'll be keen to have a go.

I should have jumped on one of the rides posted up for this week. Anyway, I feel a mental health day coming on next week sometime. Monday/Tuesday weather looks good - but probably any day next week is a possibility for me. Anyone up for day ride? I’ll be on the 701 - so firetrails or moderate tracks. Nothing too rugged. East of Melbourne probably up around Yarra Ranges. But open to suggestions.
