Hi guys,
I remember seeing a comment from a user here that apparently there is a MTB trail somewhere in VIC that allows you to rent a MTB, ride downhill, then get transported back up again.
The reason I'm looking is I have 2 friends which are interested in MTB but wanted to try them first.
I remember that the track was somewhere in the Mornington Peninsula but I couldn't find them again in Google!
Thanks in advance
op…you may be thinking of arthurs seat?

according to the site they trialed using the gondola lifts for mtb riders last year

There should be plenty of places to rent a maintain bike - but… if you are not experienced in mountain bike riding aiming for a ‘shuttle run’ on a downhill track is going to be beyond the abilities of a beginner. You’d be better finding a local trail and checking local bike shops to see if they’ll hire out bikes and going for an explore.
Or the area where they do shuttles may have a beginner course available.
