Bridge Road Single Track

The Wombat Forest is so large and used by so many people (and animals) there’s no shortage of single tracks – the trick is finding them!

Big Bang

Had just added a little air to the tire on the 29″ and was getting ready for today’s ride, when BANG! the tube burst, scaring the crap out of me!

Swaby Lane Loop

One of my favorite rides lately is what I call the Swaby Lane loop. It’s great fun on either the 29″ or 36″ wheel, includes a mix of dirt road, fire trails and single track, and can range from a 1 hour ride to as long as you’d like.

Great Dividing Trail: Mt Franklin-Castlemaine

The Great Dividing Trail runs from Bacchus Marsh to Blackwood, to Daylesford (branching to Ballarat), to Castlemaine, to Bendigo – over 280km of trail mainly through forested areas. The GDT was initially envisioned as a walking trail but has now evolved into a multi use trail, including MTB and unicycles!

Sailors Falls to Glenlyon

We sold our beloved 1977 Kombi which I had to drop off at Sailors Falls. I took the 29″ with me and rode back to Glenlyon, ~31km through the Wombat Forest. It was my first long ride off road on the 29 with 125 cranks, and overall was great fun!

Lyonville Springs

Had a great ride on the 29 today – a ~27km loop from home to Lyonville Springs, through the Wombat Forest via Toris Road, Big Al Track, Swaby Lane and back via Loddon River Road, Kangaroo Creek Road. The ride time was just under three hours. It’s definitely time to swap down from 150 cranks […]

Loddon Loop

I’m really enjoying exploring the trails in the nearby Wombat Forest on the KH29. Crazy to think we have lived here so many years and I didn’t know many of these existed. My favorite rides atm centre around a series of tracks that loop back and forth over the Loddon River between Glenlyon and Wheatsheaf.

Enter the KH29er

The KH24 has been a blast, but for longer off road rides a bigger wheel is the way the go! Enter the Kris Holm 29er.
