epyic Explorer Melbourne | Layer Up & Go

Welcome back, epyic crew! 🥾🚵‍♀️🤿

This week’s lineup is all action: runs, hikes, rides, and dives that’ll shake off the chill and get you moving with good people. We’re shining a light on the You Yangs, a granite playground made for mountain biking and hiking with big-sky payoffs. And if you’re dreaming further ahead, Kite Republic’s Brazil kite safari is back in October with wind, warmth and wild downwinders. For now, layer up and follow the stoke.

Like what you’re seeing? Forward this to a few mates who need an adventure nudge.

See you out there.

Local Spotlight

📍The You Yangs 🪨🚵‍♀️

Rising from the flatlands between Melbourne and Geelong, the You Yangs are a local favourite for good reason. With over 50 kilometres of purpose-built MTB trails, plus walking tracks like the Flinders Peak lookout, the park is packed with ways to move. Think granite ridgelines, native bush, and views that stretch all the way to the bay. It’s close, it’s wild, and it’s a top spot whether you’re chasing flow, fresh air, or a steady climb with a skyline reward. More info HERE
