Flow Monster / Meehan Range

[@MTBMouse27]

During the winter you should post shorts of the fun sections of trails you did

[@betula2137]

I've gotten used to seeing the big trees and dense undergrowth, kind of interesting to weave under and over some of those more crooked wattles. It's also a very interesting location in the big city 🌇

[@IBCMTB]

Same! It was surprising how intrusive the highway noise is, I think it was commented on at some point during the ride. On the other hand, I'm sure it's nice to have something so close to the city to ride too

[@betula2137]

@@IBCMTB Definitely, that noise always gets my "put them all on bikes" senses tingling -- well, repetitive urban journeys are relatively easier by ebike than car, because the cars can't fit if there are too many of them, the speeds are dangerous for accessibility, and they make tremendous noise that echoes everywhere (including apparently to negative health effects). 🚲🚲🚲⛐

You make it look so easy! been there a couple of times and still cant do the first drop on the skills park

[@streddaz]

That’s a different kind of trail compared to most of the Meehan trails. Looks like fun!

[@IBCMTB]

Yeah it really is! Looks like they're redoing the club up too, the part from the end of Flow Monster back to the start (where K's starts) is just as smooth and a pleasure to cruise up. Looking forward to trying the whole thing when the rest is complete.

Hi it’s moby here

[@froggy0162]

Just a pity it’s on top of a freeway. The traffic noise is horrible and you’re literally breathing exhaust fumes down in the lower sections…

[@IBCMTB]

On one hand, it's great it's so close to town! On the other hand, yeah, it really is noisy. Can't say the exhaust I have ever noticed, but noise is for sure bad.

[@froggy0162]

@@IBCMTB Right down the bottom you'll get exhaust fumes if its not a windy day. Not ideal when you're breathing hard! The noise is a real turn off. I tend to avoid these sections and get out to the back trails asap... I can see why people made some self built trails there back in the day, but I question council deciding to spend money on them here. Had to have been some nicer places around!
