Trail report for this week:
Misty Twist loop today before the weather, tomorrow likely to be a day off, a mate is on his way up who has a Merida e140, will get some good riding in with him I hope.
Rode Stonefly today, slow going due to my fitness, also a lot of windfall on the trail - all the trees have been cut but a ton of sticks/bark etc which surely slowed things down. Berms at the bottom of the descent have been re-cut and are completely mint.
No way I could do it on an analogue bike, would be a massive day on an eBike including Stonefly, I’ll do that when I get a bit fitter after another couple of weeks of riding, would need to use a bit less turbo to have the battery to get around, today’s loop got me down to 38% but I used Turbo on...
I’ll be spending a fair bit of time at Buller over the summer so thought I’d just start a thread to give some reports, random musings etc.

Trails opened today, did a fun loop out to...
I bought a Garmin GPSMAP 66i with InReach about a week or so ago, I tend to ride solo at Mt Buller and I worry about being out of phone reception. Plus I’ve wanted a handheld GPS for a while for ski touring, a couple of the guys in my group have them and they’ve been handy on the odd occasion...
I think in many cases it could be just random oversight. If you filter Mt Buller by eBike on Trailforks plenty of the trails disappear, even though it has a stated policy permitting Class 1 unmodified eBikes, and has co-promoted eBike events etc.
