24.01.2022 If you are a cyclist, tourism operator, business owner, school kid, parent or a local resident who wants to see a world class facility right here in the middle of town, that is free to access and will draw in tourists and events to Creswick (bringing all the associated flow-on benefits) then wrap your peepers around these pictures. This is from the Hammon Park Masterplan proposal, which is now publicly available via the link below. Permanent skills, trials, CX flyover, stairs... and an incredible looking jump line, this looks to cater for the beginner up to the pro cyclist and provides plenty of non-cycling features for the wider community to enjoy. It is being discussed (and voted on) at tommorrow night's council meeting (Sept 15 @ 1800) which will be streamed live via the Hepburn Shire Council facebook page. To read the meeting agenda click here: https://www.hepburn.vic.gov.au//For-Website-Public-Agenda- To view the masterplan, follow this link (and go to page 113). https://www.hepburn.vic.gov.au//Part-2-Items-10.4-to-12.10

22.01.2022 #stgeorgeslakecreswick Just out of town (about 2km from the Hammon park Trailhead), this is always a popular spot, and it’s looking pretty good here too. It’s a centerpiece to the upcoming trail network, with the adaptive trail circling the lake, increasing accessibility for a wider range of visitors. Council elections are coming up very soon here so for those that are voting, we encourage you to look very carefully at the positions of all three candidates have regarding t...he trails. We welcome the fact that all 3 candidates have now expressed their full support for the trails. As always, the devil is in the detail so do your research. #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #creswick #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #brackenbury2021 #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #roadbike #dirt #wymtm #pumptrack #gravel #groad #tracklocross

21.01.2022 While the trails are delayed, the motorbikes will play Just blatant environmental vandalism on the goldfields track to the east of Creswick. If you oppose the MTB trail project, then you are condoning environmental damage. ... #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #creswick #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #roadbike #dirt #wymtm #pumptrack #gravel #groad #tracklocross #goldfieldstrack

21.01.2022 This new event, originally scheduled for October this year has been moved to mid-2021. No doubt in the hope that covid restrictions are a little less suffocating by then. Great to see organizations wanting to bring events to our town. Now to just get the facilities up to scratch to an acceptable level and restrictions eased off enough to allow this to happen.

19.01.2022 Amazes us that once someone gets on a dirt bike, they seem to lose the ability to make good life choices. This lock it up and throw away the key approach by local @parksvic simply isn’t working. Damage is even worse further out in the forest. #buildcreswicktrails #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #creswick #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #brackenbury2021 #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #roadbike #dirt #wymtm #pumptrack #gravel #groad #tracklocross @ St Georges Lake (Re-worded, original could have been better edited, born out of a frustration at a lack of progress on the trail project that allows this damage to continue).

17.01.2022 So we should have been setting off on our Depths Of Winter social ride right now. For obvious reasons it was cancelled, but did anyone notice that the route gpx quietly became available on the website last Tuesday? No? That's ok, just follow the link to download. If / when restrictions allow, get out and ride it. http://www.ridecreswick.com.au/routes.html

17.01.2022 Wow. What a great video and promotion of the Brackenbury. With thanks to @longandwinding_mtb for putting this together. VOGA Cycle Club, get a look at this.... Hepburn Shire Council should commission you to do a promo video for our upcoming trail network, but damn, this does a great job anyway! ... Enjoy. https://youtu.be/_7e8FI0W3jA #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #creswick #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #roadbike #dirt #pumptrack #gravel #groad #tracklocross #beackenbury2021

14.01.2022 Does this sound familiar? Creswick Trails doesn’t even rate a mention, not sure how to interpret that

14.01.2022 With today’s weather, it’s just perfect for a gravel ride. Posted @withregram @gplama Following up the 80km Dirty Pig & Whistle Gravel event last weekend with a roll around the 42km route today on the eGrav bike. Brilliant course for a solo ride too. #cycling #cyclingpics #velo #bici #strava #stravaphoto #gravelbike #egravelbike #specalized #vogacycleclub #ridecreswick

13.01.2022 When cycling and art combine. Incredible work by Dirt Art.

11.01.2022 Do fun things on fun bikes. #depthsofwinter may be cancelled, but the the loop is there to be ridden. Exactly that happened today. Ride report used words such as awesome & fun. Words such as rad, excellent and epic may also have been spoken, but we can’t verify. If you do ride it, let us know and we will share a pic. @wakkatoo #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #creswick #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #brackenbury2021 #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #roadbike #dirt #wymtm #pumptrack #gravel #groad #tracklocross

11.01.2022 Hey Dads, #happyfathersday! Weather was pretty special here today, hope you got out for even a little bit. Looks like we have a while to wait before we can get back to group rides, so in the meantime, here’s a pic of a @cerveloaus #aspero with thanks to Adam from @bikesonlatrobe for the loaner a couple of weeks back. ... #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #creswick #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #brackenbury2021 #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #roadbike #dirt #wymtm #gravel #groad #tracklocross #coronavirussucks

10.01.2022 Quiet Gravel roads, warm weather, green paddocks. Nice to be back out riding in a social setting, even if the groups need to be small. Nice little turnout for the return of the VOGA Cycle Club weekly social ride last night. #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #creswick #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #brackenbury2021 #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #roadbike #dirt #wymtm #pumptrack #gravel #groad #tracklocross

09.01.2022 Head over to @flow_mtb and have a read. Sums up exactly what we knew all along . Great write-up. Posted @withregram @flow_mtb In the heart of the Victorian Goldfields is the sleepy little town of Creswick. Between the Goldfields track, the trails at the RACV resort, and the unsanctioned network running through the forest and pine plantations near town, there is plenty to keep riders entertained but the riding is soon to get a lot better. Creswick is the latest rural Vic...torian town to be on track for a new mountain bike trail network, with a proposed 100km of singletrack to be delivered in two stages. Between the mining history, the varied terrain and its proximity to Melbourne and Ballarat, Creswick will be one to add to your hit list. Hit the link in our for all the details. #flowmtb #creswick #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #roadbike #dirt #pumptrack #gravel #groad #tracklocross

05.01.2022 Could imagine this in the dis-used quarry on Slaty Creek Rd....

03.01.2022 Just a light sprinkling of snow on the pumptrack today, which is why the mulch looks a littler whiter than usual. Normally this would have prompted a whole heap of cheeky comments from us regarding how it would scare off the fair weather riders from the (now cancelled) #depthsofwinter ride that was planned for this weekend. Stupid Covid. #ridecreswick #creswicktrails #creswick #cycle #bike #ride #ballarat #bicycle #singletrack #firetrail #mountainbike #cyclocross #cx #fromwhereiride #brackenbury2021 #vogacc #hepburnshire #creswickmtb #activehepburnshire #instabicycle #MTB #dirt #wymtm #pumptrack #gravel #groad

03.01.2022 Following some feedback, we’ve updated our Routes section on the website. In addition to the .GPX files that are available to download, we’ve now included a visual reference via a google maps overlay. You can sort between the various routes and if you see one you like, download the relevant file. With just over 500kms of riding represented here covering road, gravel and MTB there is something to suit everyone.
