Buxton Flow Trail

On my last visit to Buxton I didn’t get to check out the new flow trail built by Trailscapes earlier in 2015 so I’ve been pretty keen to get back to the park before it closes for Winter.

Baristas go biking

After working up at Falls Creek together over Summer it was pretty cool to catch up with Sam and have our own end of season Barista Blowout. We hit the Lake Mountain Super G descent, Granton DH trail and finished up on Buxton’s jump track.

Lake Mountain Super G Descent

Well, if this turns out to be my last MTB ride, what a cool way to go out! The Lake Mountain Super G descent is an absolute cracker of a ride. 12km long, starting at the top of Lake Mountain and ending at the resort ticket box down in the valley below it’s everything an […]

Buxton MTB Park

With only a couple of weekend’s work left at Falls Creek I figured it was time to take in a few nearby MTB parks along the way. Doing so also provides a fun way to break the long drive to North East Victoria.

Flame Trees MTB Trail

Made a quick sidetrip on the way back to Central Victoria to check out the Flame Trees MTB Trail at Beechworth. It’s a 10km loop that runs either side of the Murray-to-Mountains rail trail. Good fun, including a stormwater pipe option that connects that up and down trail 🙂

Big Hill MTB Park Mt Beauty

With limited time on the first visit I rode lower (and easier) trails including Grevid’s Way, […]

Beechworth MTB Park

Always pretty sweet to ride somewhere new! I’ve been meaning to stop in at Beechworth MTB Park on the way to or from Falls Creek and finally got around to it.
