Sometimes its easy to forget how good it is for Mountain Bikers who live in Bendigo. We have such a great variety of trails that can be ridden in all conditions within 5-10 minutes of the centre of town. Where else would it be possible to enjoy a very pleasant morning on the bike when rain was still falling at 6.30am and gale and hail warnings were in place. We hit the tracks around One Tree Hill at 9.00am with one eye on the sky and the other on the track ahead but we needn't have worried because it didn't rain on us and the sun even came out a few times. It was like the weather gods were smiling on us or maybe it was the good vibes from the Jehovah Witness convention being held in town. Although there were a couple of spots where traction was at a premium (try sliding sideways down Bruce's Hill), generally the rocky trails of One Tree Hill generally offered plenty of grip. That's not to say that we didn't come home covered in mud but that's half the fun of riding in winter.
