LDTR Social Ride - 27/09/26 Red Hill
About this event
Spring has sprung and we're off to Red Hill!
This month we'll be taking our social ride to Red Hill MTB Park. We will meet at 9:15am for a 9:30am roll out from the Boundary Road trailhead:ย https://maps.app.goo.gl/AP5N8RAF9qHAt5zS9
For anyone not familiar with Red Hill, a higher level of skill and fitness is required compared to the trails at Lysterfield. The climbing and descending trails are a lot longer and a lot more technical than at Lysterfield, with a tough climb straight out of the carpark, followed by more climbing after that! You will get rewarded with some old school hand cut descents though! To make the most out of this ride, please make sure that you are able to:
-
Ride 100% of the trails at Lysterfield with confidence
-
Ride 1.5-2 hours regularly, and manage your food and water intake
-
Sustain a 20 minute steady climb
-
Confidently climb up switchbacks, and descend down trails with technical features including rock gardens and root sections
We will of course try to seek out the trails with the general skill level of the group in mind, and this will be a no drop ride so you can rest assured that you won't be left behind. This ride is open to everyone aged 18+. Sorry, no minors this time.
After the ride consider joining us for a coffee and snack/lunch at Wombat Cafe or nearby!
What you will need:
- A mountain bike in good working order
- An Australian safety standards approved helmet
- Water, snacks, spare tube
- Freshly applied sunscreen
