Ok, fairly new to this forum but thought I'd share this little loop I did at the spur of the moment today.
Had a free day today, and with the fine weather of late, decided to take the TDM off the tar..
Bought this style of bike for this reason so thought its time I take the bike off road as I'm really feeling comfy with it atm.
Headed out to Warby and up Mt Donna to Cement Creek and the start of the Acheron Way for my first time..
First 7k were fairly slimy in places and I couldn't figure out why as we've had a week of perfect dry weather...
A little further on, workers were grading so this is probably why...
Not exactly a good surface for the BT023 tyres that were fitted to the TDM before I bought it.
Road then reverted to the hard packed gravel with was fine until it became sealed again about where the road comes to the Acheron River.
Headed to Narbethong, thru a trafficless (can u belive it!) Black Spur to Healesville and up Myers Creek Rd.
Did that right turn at the top (Mt Leonard I think) and decided to just keep going and see what happens..
After about 40 min, road finally ended somewhere (no clue where I took below photo) so I turned around.
Made a couple of wrong turns and kind of got lost (geez I love doing that!).
Eventually (an hour later!) made it back to Toolangi and down a very perfect Chum Creek Rd and home..
Had an awesome day and hoping soon to come along to some rides posted here..
My adventure riding life is starting...lol
