Notes:
Another surprise packet. Yellow Brick Road, like Old Chevy and Creek are some really enjoyable lower mountain XC trails, trails that made me glad to have brought my XC bike.
Yellow Brick Road runs from Reservoir Rd directly opposite the end of Old Chevy over a small hill to Sandy Skid Road.
The climb is moderate with a few easy switchbacks and the trail was in great condition at the time of riding. The descent has a few steep sections with deeply rutted corners but I never felt out of control despite riding the damp trail on Crossmark tyres.
This is another of the outstanding lower mountain XC trails that can be easily ridden by lower intermediate riders on just about any bike (some level of fitness required for the climb).
My loop on this day started at the 8 Mile Carpark, up Hill Rd (from 8 Mile Gate), turned right onto Reservoir Rd to Old Chevy, Yellow Brick Road, Sandy Skid Rd, Pondy New, Roller Coaster and down Reservoir Rd to the car park.
