Craigieburn Trails - Castle Hill are now closed for the winter... ❄️🌨❄️🌨❄️

Well, it's that time of year again. Getting pretty cold and snowy in the mountains, and the Craigieburn Trails - Castle Hill are starting to suffer a little bit from a few people continuing to ride the tracks when the conditions would suggest going somewhere else.
Hint: if you're coming back with your bike plastered in mud from riding the trails, it's too wet, and you're damaging the track surfaces.
The trails at the northern end (Edge, Lyndon Saddle, Luge, etc) which are mostly in the beech forest are still open, but please respect the fact that the rest of the Trails are closed TO BIKES for the winter for everyone's benefit.
Please spread the word to any bikers that you know. 😉
