  1. Gravity Weekend Victorian Alps Australia

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I would like to organise a gravity weekend in the Victorian Alpine and
    Sub-alpine region. The location would be Falls Creek and Mt
    Beauty/Tawonga area.

    Rough itinery:
    Day one Sat Falls Creek.
    Mt McKay down to the village via the ski slopes or gravel roads.

    Falls Creek to Mt Beauty 30ks. Sealed Road. If you have a support crew,
    get a lift at any stage, say after the Pretty Valley Bridge at 15 ks

    Keen riders might be able to do the MTB downhill tracks at Big Hill MT
    Beauty (site of various Australian MTB Champs). I would have to check
    this out.

    Day 2 around the base of Mt Bogong. Trappers Gap and Eskdale Spur.
    Downhill on dirt tracks.

    The weekend would be mainly touring downhill. This could involve some
    trips between 10 and 30 ks.

    Let me know if you are interested so I can keep organising.

    DATE: After the ski season. Late October early November 2006. When I
    get some interest, I will decide on an exact dat and will post the
    information in the news forums

  5. That's a shame guys, but school comes first unfortunately. I just
    decided on the time to be as soon as possible after the snow, not that
    there is much this year anyway.

    I hope it will be a great weekend and hope to see some riders. I have
    about three already at this early stage.

  7. yea a pole would be good. i agree though, straight after the snow season
    would be awesome, but you may get more riders if its november/december

  10. I will get in touch with the unicyclist that I know, and see if there is
    a preferred time. The date doesn't worry me much until I set a firm
    date.

    I love the area and like the idea of riding down most of the time with
    some other riders.

    It could become an icon ride on the calender

  16. Ahh Mal, you're amazing.

    I'd be up for a ride, I don't think it's to far from sunny Kilmore. I
    shall notify the lads as well.

    I don't think the date will be a matter for me 🙂

  17. I gotto go to bed soon. I will look at all holidays including mine. If
    you are serious, let me know as the time is flexible at the moment.

    It could be me, one or two people or more. 10 to 15 seems a hopefull
    number.

  18. Thanks Ed, I haven't gone to bed yet. I live in two places, Falls
    Creek/Mt Beauty /Tawonga area is different to Chiltern. More down than
    XC. Up is generally too hard on a uni.

    People could camp at my farm at the base of Mt Bogong.
