Hey Stredda, trying to convince the Coningham MTB Club to do a road trip up your way in late August/ early September so if you can add me to the Marcelo wish list that’d be awesome. Favourite liquid beverage supplied in thanks. Also what are the Warrawee trails like? Length of network, standard etc?

At this stage there is about 15km of trails at Warrawee and 16kmn in Railton and the Warrawee Link.
The Warrawee trails are laid out with one main climb from the trail head (Bee Line) and then there are several options of loops you can do. Mainly green and blue with one short black trail. If you search YouTube there are videos of each of the trails.
The Railton trails at this stage consist of a 5km loop (Teleport & Green Hornet) and the 9km Warrawee to Railton linking trail. Both green but good fun rides.

Yeah Marcelo runs Next Level Mountain Bike. He's a trail builder and skills coach. He's in my club and built a lot of the Penguin MTB park, all of the Montgomery Loop in the Dial Range and the First stage of the Wild Mersey Trails.

Thursday nights there is a group ride in Derby, I think it's organised by the owner of the Dorset hotel, I haven't managed to get there for one yet but a mate who owns Evolution bikes regularly goes.
Or if you can't find anyone else I would be keen to come for a night ride. Have wanted to for a while but it's not really something I want to do solo.

I've thought of doing this several times but I'm always too cooked from all the daytime riding

At the end of a day riding the Mersey trails with @Stredda leading the way. Trails are riding beautifully, and it’s definitely worth checking them out. Really well designed climbing trails and some fun descents. The Railton express is not just a flat connector, it has plenty of pedalling and features. Green Hornet in Railton was a perfect fun way to finish off with Seven Sheds Brewery just down the road for post ride pints. Give the Railton hotel a call if you fancy a pub lunch as they are very accommodating and Belly’s Bar and Grill is a winner in Latrobe for dinner.

The few who rode all the way back to Warrawee would have been feeling it the next day I bet. 53km and 1000m of climbing
Bellies is one of the best places to eat around the area
Would have loved to have joined you guys at Marcelo's and the lap of the Monty Loop but I had a few things on that Sunday, including our clubs AGM.
I'm president again!

They did 3 quick High Voltages, and the one No Merseys. Loved the HV’s particularly.
@Boom King says thanks for the Brakes.

Session Sauce gives you a good workout getting back up if you do a few runs
