The You Yangs mountain biking is a lot like the climbing out there. ie shithouse.

Which is not to say that the developers didn't do a great job or that it's not backed by Parks Vic. A lot of work has gone into the place without a doubt. The problem lies in the soil. It's a really friable granite sand that seems to be made to erode. The 'easy' loop around the MTB area is one of the harder trails simply because so much of it has eroded away. If you do go there, try the intermediate trails. gnerally they are much more erosion-proof and enjoyable.

Lysterfield is in a whole 'nother league. If you like tight twisty trails in amongst the trees, then you will think you have died and gone to heaven. The Cth Games course is really atypical of what Lysterfied has to offer. Shame really.
