Trail one of the Hobbs Road / Lerderderg State Park MTB Trails. ( Also known as the Pyrete Range )
Don't know what the locals actually call these trails, although Flow did a summary and the trails were known as Yellow Dot, because of the Yellow Spray paint dot on trees along the trail.
Trail is a mix of tight and twisty small scattered pyrete rock, and sandy base, through bushland, with some areas of flow

This trail is unsanctioned.

Locals should be able to advise of the trail name, and of other trails Note some are locally marked

 All clear, was one or two small trees down but I believe they were cleared up once I was off the trail.
