I don't think trails are even open/shuttles operating until late Nov/early Dec at Falls. Usually the ski lifts keep turning until the end of the Sep school hols. Driving from Qld and its beautiful Spring weather to ride Vic seems crazy to me, Bright is one of my favorite towns in the state but I...

Pedal? You can’t get to the top section but I really liked the climbing trails there, I pedalled 1 and a half days and shuttled 2

The Vic Enduro Tour is meant to be in late April (no date announced yet) which would mean most of the park will be closed off for a weekend, something to keep in mind. Mt Beauty would be a good back up, good for a couple days and better than Beechy imo. Falls might be open by then too.

Couple of big days shuttling at Bright, about 50km of downs all up. Got cooked on my last run and OTB on down dj on that awkward rock launch drop about half way down. Dunno how I managed it, just tired I guess. Kinda funny how I had clean top to bottom runs down elevation and World Cup before it...

In Perth visiting the parents so hit Kalamunda circuit today for the first time since 2013. Hired an ebike (trek rail) for the first time, some thoughts: there’s no better way to ride a wide range of trails if you’re travelling and time is limited. I could see how it would be useful learning...

Had my last run in Tassie down Iron Tor after 3 weeks travelling around and it was absolutely one of the best. Did a few laps of the jumps in the skills park then rolled straight into Penguin brewery, perfect end to the trip

We couldn’t believe some of the rigs we saw travelling around Tassie. Every campground the majority of the car/caravan setups would have been $200k+. It did seem like a lot of the crew with young families we spoke to had sold everything to purchase them for 12+ months on the road

That must be the Xmas rate, we camped at big 4 St. Helens in Feb and was around $40-50 pn. Facilities were fantastic and nice grounds too

Happy to throw in some $$$ but the MP Shire has $7m surplus and they couldn’t spare another $80k to build the trail? They are probably spending that on the study to see if the nudie beach in Mt Eliza should stay a nudie beach. (from a disgruntled ratepayer)

Super fun day, the bottom of stage 5 was chaos in the mud! Here’s some footage I saw on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cb4J_F6jbGT/?utm_medium=copy_link Great effort for doing stage 6 too, I was cooked after the 5. Did you hit the rock garden on 6 in the wet? I did a run of it yesterday and...

Not for much longer, inbound testing requirements for Aus are being dropped April 17

Did another lap of Beauty today and then went home via Bright as I was keen for a hero lap. Closures are done and fencing/signage is up. Peddled up mystic lane to grevids lane then up DJ, up and at’em is now closed. Hero itself is pretty chopped up on both the jumps and berms, shred Kelly was...

Weekend trip to Mt Beauty to check the place out before rd 2 of the Vic enduro tour. Hectic place to both climb and navigate but some sick tracks. Some ruts would swallow 26in wheels :D you can kind of tell the tracks they are running as they have been slashed but I have no idea of the names

A new laced up FR560 and cassette hand delivered at the 11th hour by the main man at Chainbrain this evening. Set the tubeless up with insert so if I dent this I think I need riding lessons on how to ride smoother :D On the ferry to Tassie tomorrow morning, will post some ride reports when I...

Could get 2 Marin Alpine XR's for the price of some of these bikes suggested :p Top notch frame/suspension but definitely corners were cut with the brakes, rims, dropper and hubs to meet the price point. Check out what Mark Matthews does on his on IG

Some pics from race day, couldn't ask for better weather. Start of the 1 hour 15min climb Climb worth it with views like these. Top of final run Thunderbolt. Was a bit of waiting around both for 1st and last stage

Haha nah I’m 22min without the urban (like your screenshot), urban time was 4min from memory so 26min all up. Nearly got you on big fella though :p Will keep an eye for you next round

Nice work mate. I did the race too and finished with 22min. Blew my tubeless out and heavily dented my rim in practice on wishing well a couple hours before the Saturday stage 1. Did a moi moi and straightened up the dents as much I could with a few bangs, put a tube in and babied it for stage...

Not exactly 'around Melbourne' but do a trip up to Bright and shuttle with Blue Dirt for a day or 2. Hero and shred kelly trails resurrected my jumping skills from around 8 years ago pretty quickly.

Yep one of the best purchases I’ve ever made, perfect earphones when combined with Foam Masters tips
