Striking MTB Gold on Louis Creek.

We recently chatted to local trail builders who advised us of this hidden gem just out of St Arnaud near Nelson. Trails trust have put in some hard work to make an old tramping track ridable.
It's a great day out with wonderful rivers,creeks forests and a fair chunk of history with gold mining prevalent in the area.

The ol Louis looks alot different now that the pine trees have been harvested. New gold diggings every 100m or so.

Oh the pines have gone ? That would look different. Luckily the beech trees would be untouched I guess on the upper part. Thanks fir the info.

Cool ride must do it,can l ask what bike do you ride is it a 27.5 or 29er lm trying to decide, l like that type of terrain, Cheers Don

Hey Don, yep this ride is really fun in the dry and a bit of a hidden gem.
I wouldn't base much of our bike choice as we've never ridden 27.5's. Ex roadie and triathletes so we were all about rolling efficiency and are not much chop when pointing downwards.

Hey again, you both seem to handle your bikes well, lve got a 29er hardtail, going to upgrade soon to full suspension, 27.5s are supposed to be more agile on technical stuff, anyway l watch all your rides you sure Get Outside ,keep up the gd stuff. CHEERS thanx for your reply
