What"s happening near the Big Dipper? Some crazy persons going mad with a chainsaw removing rollovers that have been there for years. I wish they'd use their energy for goodness not evil and remove the trees down in Bruces loop that are too big for my saw...
I don't know if any map for the ST but the MYT is on all the cycling maps. Strava is your best friend for maps and google maps have most of the ST on it.More to the point is there a hand drawn map of Yarra trails so I know wtf you're all talking about?
That's exactly what I thought last night having not ridden YTs for some time hitting into areas expecting the obstacles that had been there for years to be greeted with a smooth path and releasing a sigh of disappointment. The trees in Bruce's were good fun tho jumping on a 26in SS, had to concentrate.What"s happening near the Big Dipper?

I reckon it might be best to leave them be for a bit until it dries out, Bruce has a bit of healing to do after winterremove the trees down in Bruces loop that are too big for my saw...
Thats it mate- There is an outer and inner loop.Is Bruce's loop the loop in the paddock on the right riding away from the city?
Big dipper is between the Golf Course and Bonds Road. There is a big deep hole with a massive tree branch fallen. You can ride down and between the tree and the fallen branch.Where is the Big Dipper?
Wasn't me anyway
Great that you two meet- both good eggs. Looking forward to catching up with you Sane- are you working somewhere- coffee?Yeah you too mate. Cheers for all your effort out there.
Yeah it's about time for a spin mate. I've been trying to career shift but not having a lot of luck, might have to go back to coffee with my tail between my legs. Been enjoying rediscovering the YT during the week thoughGreat that you two meet- both good eggs. Looking forward to catching up with you Sane- are you working somewhere- coffee?
you dont have to make the coffee- just drink it with me. Working 9-5 ATM so just the weekends. Did Cullen let you in on a few additions?Yeah it's about time for a spin mate.

JD - was on the Karate Monkey SS but still getting out on the Big Top regularly (now 1x10). I have actually entered the Bright 24hr for next month as a solo and I am doing it on the SS. Plan is to use the Karate Monkey but I am in the process of changing the dropouts on the Big Top and I am borrowing a SS rear wheel from a mate and will take it up as my 2nd bike. I am planning on running 32x19 on the KM (my usual gear) but debating whether to run the same on the BT or to run 32x20 and basically have it as a bail-out gear if things start to get too hard (or I could just take a box of tissues, dry my eyes, and HTFU!!!).Hey Big Gags
glad you found some of the cool new trails. The Yarra Trails are always changing slowly as different folks put in effort and with the seasons. Is your SS the Bigtop or do you have something else? How is the Larry?
Look forward to catching up for a ride soon. Im mainly down the Boat house end these days or out at Plenty Gorge (love that place).

I ran it SS for a while- it rocks. You might find you can run the same gearing - BT might be a lighter setup- so better to ride when you are getting tied.JD - was on the Karate Monkey SS but still getting out on the Big Top regularly (now 1x10).

Will let you know how the BT goes SS once I get it up and running!!
