I would not recommend the Daylsford to Creswick section of the Goldfields Trail to anyone. Without a navigation app like Komoot it would be impossible to stay on the trail - or find it in the first place. The trail markers for the trail are everywhere except where you would expect them. The tourist office has no clue about the trail. We found the trail and then found ourselves on an almost impossible-to-ride track with massive boulders. We subsequently surmised that we had found the walking track - but no signage to help. The track then becomes quite rideable if you don't mind deep mud puddles. However there is a huge range of trail conditions, from wide 4WD sized track to narrow single-bike trail with sharp twists and turns and logs that the bikes need to be lifted over. One of our team had a nasty fall from his bike in one of these sections. Continual vigilance is needed to stay on the trail. The last section into Creswick is on small flattish country roads and goes for 18 kms. We battled gale-force head winds in this section and we were already totally exhausted at this point. So, when Komoot rates this ride as 'Expert' i would fully agree but as a group of septagenerians, we were chuffed to have finished it in one piece. There is some quite spectacular views, especially going over the summit.
