            Description

            Enjoyable mountain bike ride along the most popular trail in the Blue Mountains. The ride is predominantly downhill but has some tricky climbs and a few more than tricky descents. Riders will need some previous MTB experience, however suitable for almost everyone. First roll along some open trails, see some Aboriginal rock engravings, a meander along a ridge looking into a spectacular valley. Then comes a gnarly downhill, and a gentle roll up to the helicopter landing pad. A quick stop and a play with the logs, then the beautiful 5km descent. The fun really begins after this, along a section of fast and flowing singletrack, including some technical challenges for those with higher abilities. Of course the ride ends with a nasty climb back to Glenbrook station, where we retire to the bakery for lunch. Bring plenty of water and snacks, and a sturdy mountain bike is required.

            Notes: A long, glorious trail through some gorgeous Blue Mountains bushland. It’s for gravel bikes or MTBs only, no road bikes. Coffee is at the end, at Glenbrook. Bring snacks and I strongly recommend two water bottles. I will be on the 8:18 am train from Central.We will start riding with 5 mins relatively easy warm-up.

            Pre-registration is required through the Bike North website link
