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. (more…)
Last weekend Falls Creek, this weekend it was Mt Buller’s turn to farewell the Summer MTB season.
Blue Dirt’s Buller Blowout went off on Saturday: awesome weather and trail conditions, non-stop shuttles loaded with riders, free BBQ and craft beer to end the day. Thanks to some awesome rostering, I spent the morning doing shuttle runs down Copperhead, Abom, Outlaw and International. Fun stuff.
What better way to spend the last day at Falls Creek than riding the Fainters Track down to Mt Beauty with the World Trail crew. (more…)
I’d been promising myself a night ride in the mountains all Summer, and finally got around to it! Had an awesomely creepy ride on the Mojo 3 out along Frying Pan Spur and down High Voltage at Falls Creek. Night shuttles would be so cool 🙂 (more…)
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 MTB ride should be. Backcountry, fast, long descents interspersed with good climbs. Old school singletrack, walking trail, contemporary MTB trail and more. And at the end of it a cruisey 10km climb up the sealed road back to the top of the mountain. (more…)
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. (more…)
