Our monthly social ride will be held on Sunday 15 September and will journey south to explore the recently opened trail network in Creswick (Djuwang Baring). This new network of around 70km of mountain bike trails was due to host the MTB events at the Commonwealth Games in 2026, but now provides us with another outstanding regional MTB destination.
The trails at Djuwang Baring provide a range of skill-rated riding experiences across a diverse landscape. To get maximum appreciation of the network some friendly members of the local VOGA club will be showing us the highlights. The ride will be at a good intermediate level, with some climbing, some gravity descents and some technical features. We will ride for around two hours so a reasonable level of fitness will be required.
All riders must be self-sufficient with food, water and spares. A well maintained/working mountain bike and helmet which meets Australian standards are required.
The ride will commence at 09:30am at Hammon Park in Water Street, Creswick and will venture into the forest to the north of St Georges Lake.
In order for us to manage riders to ride leader ratios please register through the AusCycling events portal.
