This week the dirt path on the Yarra Trail that bypasses the steps at the
Chandler Hwy has been closed. I assumed that they were fixing up the damage
due to recent rains (a bit of rutting) but tonight when I rode past at about
1700h there was a guy there putting the finishing touches on a fence that
closes off the bypass. This now means that I either have to cross the
Chandler Hwy (not much fun in afternoon peak hour), ride down the 100 or so
steps (OK on the dually but not too much fun on the rigid SS - also not an
option for going up the stairs), dismount and walk the steps - meh, or take
the detour that follows the river (nice bit of singletrack but has "no bike"
signs at either end.
I think that I will ride the singletrack at this stage but I am pretty
****** that they closed off the stair bypass. They only put it in a couple
of years ago!!!!
Not happy Jan,
