When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.You Yangs Regional Park is outside the Melbourne Metro lockdown area.
If you live within Melbourne Metro, you can't go riding there in the next 6 weeks.😞
If you live outside of the Melbourne Metro, you can still go riding. 😀
A small group from the trail crew will be removing boneseed weeds and clearing sight lines on track 6 (Latic Acid) from 9am Sunday.
The trail will be closed while the crew is at work.
All other trails remain open to ride.
Heads up if you are planing to ride at You Yangs on Sunday.
Princes Freeway will be closed between Hoppers Crossing and Werribee from 9pm Saturday night to 5am Monday morning. All traffic will be detoured through Werribee.
Traffic will be chaos so suggest you plan to ride else where if you normally travel this way to get to the You Yangs.
Happy Thursday!
A few updates to share from Parks Victoria
* Kurrajong carpark has been repaired and open for use.
* Drysdale Road carpark is still closed. Repairs should be finished ready to open for the weekend.
* The blue section of the Stockyards Management Track shown on the map in the image is CLOSED due to serious erosion issues. This is closed to everyone including walkers, runners and riders. All MTB trails can still be accessed.
* All MTB trails are OPEN
The You Yangs are the busiest they have ever been with usage more than doubling since the park has re-opened. Please remember to respect the social distancing guidelines and trail etiquette while out enjoying the trails.
Great news from Parks they have a roading contractor booked to begin repair works to Drysdale Carpark!
Next week 2nd, 3rd and 4th of June.
The car park will be closed at this time but the trails will still be open.
For all riders that will be at the park this weekend, please be mindful of Track 10 blind step down landing.
It has reshaped ready for what we anticipate to be a busy weekend.
GOOD NEWS!
Parks Victoria will open the You Yangs Regional Park and all trails from Wednesday the 13th of May 2020
The only exceptions to this are
* Kurrajong Picnic Ground Car Park
* Eliminator Track
* Turbulence (Track 10)
These have significant damage from rain and repairs are being organised by Parks Victoria.
As exciting as this is please following these few basic rules;
1. Yes you can be outside in groups of 10 but you must maintain 1.5m social distancing. Use your voice let people know you would like to pass and be patient until they have an opportunity to let you pass.
2. Do not hang around at the trail heads, maintain your social distance.
3. Maintain good hygiene. Avoid touching or sharing other peoples equipment. There is limited water in the park so come prepared with your own hand sanitiser.
4. Ride within your limits. The last thing we want to do is put additional pressure on the Emergency Services.
5. The trails have not been used for a while so may find that sticks or trees could have fallen on the trail and with the rain, additional ruts may have developed.
Please respect these rules and use common sense so we can continue to enjoy the trails. We do not want the You Yangs to be closed down because it becomes a hot spot for the spread of this disease.
