McIlroys Muster

This is our intermediate tour. It is for those with some MTB experience but who still want to enjoy a ride without it being too extreme.

We do some of the open trails we cover in our Bay to Bay tour and we also do quite a bit of single-track riding. Our pace is up a bit from our Bay to Bay tour but still, we go at a comfortable speed determined by the desire of our riders to explore some of the lesser-known parts of our trail network. These trails eventually leads us to the lower parts of the Merricks Rail Trail to finish at the Merricks Station Reserve.

After we arrive at Merricks we load our bikes and prepare to return you to Seawinds in our shuttle bus.

This tour is approximately 21km and approximately 2 to 3 hours in duration and is not suitable for children.

We will provide a quality mountain e-bike and a Lamar Berg-EM helmet, designed specifically for e-mountain bike riding. We provide full instruction and familiarisation before commencing our adventure along with support throughout the journey.

It is vital that you ride within your abilities and only do what you are comfortable doing. If you have doubts — stop, dismount and walk your bike past any terrain you are not comfortable tackling and/or talk to your guide.

Keep a safe distance between riders and look out for other trail users. When approaching walkers ring your bell and loudly state your intentions. i.e. three bikes passing on the left, or 5 bikes passing on the right (note your guide will normally do this). Slow down past walkers and always be courteous. Like you, they are out for a fun day.

You may encounter horse riders who share some of our trails. If so, pull to one side of the trail and stop. Communicate with the rider and let them pass or wait for their instruction to ride on. More often than not your guide will be there first to handle the situation.

From time to time we will come across wildlife. Keep your distance and by all means, stop and take a picture but just remember they are not tame and may react to an unwanted advance. Give animals their space and listen to your guides instruction.

We are Licenced Tour Operators with Parks Vic and all our guides are first aid trained and have Working with Children checks.
