The Sting Trail

So Sat saw a few of us have a very respectable start time of 7.30am at the base of the Dandenongs. The plan was to basically repeat the ride Jas and I did a few weeks earlier. So as we headed out surprisingly the trail went up and up and up until we had finally got to the top of the Dandenongs, popping out onto the road at Olinda and amongst the roadies. This is always fun, however they all disappeared at Sassafras leaving just the MTB's on the road.

It was at this point that there was a route change and we headed down a new trail, and whilst it was in no means hardtail territory it was still great riding. It headed south east from Sassafras and took us most of the way to Belgrave, where we turned around and headed back, so we could be back at the cars by 10am.

So a bit of a road section saw us on top of Mt Dandenong again at the TV tower, where it was all downhill to the cars.

Check out The Felt Epix site who have a few photos up of the ride.

So more single track has been added to the memory in the Dandenongs, soon we will be able to ride around there all day without going near the bitumen.
