Nope not gone quiet! Was a good ride today, although we did learn two things!
1) the maps of the You Yangs on t'interweb are crap!
2) there is no shop, must take food next time!
All in all tho i reckon its a great place to ride
A couple of pics

haha love them pics!
Indeed the maps are crap, no scale or reference points or best way to ride suggestions, so we ended up going up trails that we should clearly be going down. Another thing, no shop!! No cake or drinks... poor show considering its supposed to be Victoria's "premier" mountain bike spot. Having loaded the camel back with a smidgen of drink, presuming that there would be a shop, i really felt it today catching the bonk towards the end of the ride. Thanks to Mark for sharing his water with us, I nearly resorted to doing a Bear Grylls and drinking my own piss!
Other than that, the trails are pretty awesome, great views, and plenty of scope for fun. I will mention though that they are tailored for our more modern brethren. Still some guy nearly had a heart attack when he saw our bikes and had to have a pic taken of them! Retro forever!
