Early Birds
Fun early ride with Guy and Andy from Melbourne around Baco and the trails heading across towards Barkers Creek. Followed up by a cool down in the pool. Tough way to start the day!

Read MoreHeya, here’s a little video I’ve made — it’s been a wee labor of love the last month or so. I guess it’s about the Spring wildflowers, magpies and mountain biking… or it could be about a mid 40’s guy having yet another immensely enjoyable mid life crisis.

Lots of wildflowers out over that way too.

On a fine Saturday afternoon bizarrely you don’t come across anyone else out on the trails.

With a fuel reduction burn scheduled over Summer chances are it could be many years before the woods will look like this again.
