Lockyers
Challenger missions at Mt York
I roll the Spark out of the dungeon and across the frost on a run to the bakery for some cross-country shuttle supplies. It's nippy. When you do early morning rides in Blackheath you need some specialised gear: sure I look like an 80's tennis star, but the woollen head band that the girfriend knitted stops the ears from freezing solid.
When I get back with the baked goods Andy's already here (he's always early), and we load my bike and head off for Mt York.
Mt York Shuttles
Camping / parking area at far end of Mt York Rd. This is also the start of Coxs. From Mt Vic, head west on the hwy for a few minutes, then turn right at the servo (Mt York Rd). Follow this to the end.
This is a MT York shuttle day. We should be able to do 3 or 4 laps.
Trail Options
There are 4 trails that head down the escarpment from Mt York Rd: Coxs, Lockyers, Lawsons and Berghoffers. I recommend that we do a couple of laps of Lockyers, then we can try Coxs if we want some variety. The other two aren't generally as good when you have a choice like we do.
Trail Grades/Bike Choice
Of the two, Lockyers is longer, Coxs is steeper.
Mt York night ride
If anyone is keen we're hoping to hit up Mt York next Tuesday....
Considering I haven't been on the bike for about 3 weeks I'll be hurting....
