Windlass (L3) is part of the picturesque Lake section of Creswick MTB Park, offering an exciting blue-rated trail that perfectly combines technical elements with flowing terrain. Designed for intermediate riders, this trail keeps you on your toes with its mix of features, making it a favorite for those who love variety.
This video captures my very first ride down Windlass. After an earlier tumble—an over-the-bars (OTB) moment on a connecting trail—I decided to take things a bit slower and really enjoy the ride. Along the way, I crossed paths with fellow riders Shawn and Louise, adding a social twist to the day’s adventure. Shawn followed me down the trail, giving us some great footage and shared insights into the ride.
The Windlass trail flows beautifully, with well-designed corners, small technical challenges, and the occasional opportunity to pick up speed. It’s the perfect introduction to Creswick’s Lake section for intermediate riders, with enough to challenge you without overwhelming.
Watch as I navigate the twists, turns, and features of this fantastic trail. Whether you’re planning your next ride or just exploring the Creswick trails virtually, this video will give you a taste of what Windlass has to offer.
