| Done the Granton long track? Well this ones shorter but harder...umm |
| How to get there? Follow Maroondah Hwy through Lilydale, Healsville and through the Black Spur. As mentioned in the other Granton article stop for breakfast at the shop on the right at the end of the Spur. R1 on toast. Keep going till you see the sign for Marysville off to the right. Take this road and keep going for about 5km. You will cross a small creek/bridge. A couple of minutes past there is a big clearing on the left. Park here and get kitted up. Looking back at the Spur you will see a dirt road off to the right. This is the transport road. Follow till you hit the gate. Get out and continue walking till you reach the tower. Thats it! The track starts here. Follow the wide track(which is fast and open) till it splits in two. Take the left track and continue on. The track from here is reasonably rutted and twisty. There is only one drop off. This track is more technical than the long track, just different enough. Follow until it flattens out. Stay right and this will take you straight back to the car park. I like this track better because it's harder to ride fast but the long track is kinda cool too. Jen |
