They're on either side of a hill so you can go from one park to the other. Lysterfield wins it for me because it's got better singletrack than Churchill (unless I haven't found the good singletracks yet:). -- Nick Post a follow-up to this message Message 5 in thread From: Ray Peace (ferret@jeack.com.au) Subject: Re: Biking in Churchill and Lysterfield park (near Melbourne) View this article only Newsgroups: aus.bicycle Greetings, Ring Parks Victoria (13-1963) and ask them to send you the trail map. Good MTB trails all over the place, including an old tramway if you are into such things. As far as I know, PV restrict access in Lysterfield for trail bikes and horses, but not cyclists, except some chicanes which are not easy to get through. The only real problem is the approach roads, if you are riding to the park, the traffic is a horror from all directions. Regards, Ray.

Lots of good singletrack awaits you. :) Once the new track is built (<6 months) there will be something for just about everybody in the park. No real Downhill type stuff but plenty of technical MTB fun.
