Hi all, new to the site but riding for a lifetime. 
Most of my riding has been up Dargo way but recently Neerim Sth and Anglesea (I live in Pt Cook).  But am now wondering what lies closer to home? Is there much around Lerderderg, Bacchus Marsh, etc. or is the broader Wombat area the best bet?
Any advice would be appreciated...
Cheers

Forget Lerderderg. It's pretty much closed. But there is endless tracks in wombat. You can start at the southern end from Carrols Lane or west at Blackwood. Heaps of tracks everywhere. It's a real hoot in the wet.
I have done rides in recent years, starting at Carrols Lane, and trying to make lunch at the Pig & Whistle Hotel in Trentham east(check that location). The publican is very friendly and does not mind the mud.
When it's wet, I have waited 5 minutes for the first corner man to arrive. This is after riding about 90 meters. It can be carnage.

Single track is living. Everything else is just waiting.

Hi SteveH
We have ran a couple of rides from the top of wombat (Glenlyon)
if you like narrow tracks

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - throttle in the other - body thoroughly used up,totally worn out and screeming what a ride

Keep and eye out for rides put on by Peter R & John T in that area. If you go on one of their rides you'll have a ball !

Hey Steve,
I'm looking at putting a few rides on down at Anglesea.  I'm just struggling to find the time!!
