Mt York
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.
mid winters madness
It was a dark and stormy night, Well Ok it wasn't stormy, more slightly drizzly but it was dark and night....
The day had been soso weatherwise starting out damp and doing its best to dry out. It had been 3 weeks since my last decent ride so I was keen as. Riding home it looked good. Or maybe it was wishful thinking I stepped inside turned back around and outside looked wet...
I scoof down some soup and the phone rings... It was Mr Lights "We still riding?" "Yeah why not."
I pack up the ute and head around to pick him up. I get a message from Rich "You reckon it's too wet?"
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....

Mt York Riding
Just did Berghoffers yesterday. The state of the track is about average. It got hammered a few months ago with the heavy rains, and there was a fair bit of erosion. This has settled down somewhat, but you still need to be reasonably careful over the loose stuff.
And I thought we'd be better of with a dedicated thread for Mt York, rather than wherever we were talking about it before, so I've just copied my earlier post below.

Just a thought:

Mt York convict trails/Celebrate the pass 20th october
Ok Mt Vic Pass turns 175years old this October and the little village of Mt Victoria is planning a bit of a celebration for it.
What's that got to do with us, I hear you ask.
Well we (CTMBC) have been invited to come a do a social ride on the Convict trails of Mt York.
These trails have recently been handed over to Blue Mt council to manage and this is a bit of a foot in the door for official MTB access.
