THE 'TELL US YOUR TRAILS COMPETITION' (SEE BLOG PAGE) has just 2 weeks to go. Noel from Northern Suburbs has been prolific in submitting new trails, so be in if you want to win that lightweight cam. Noel and the boys (Alex, Adam, Glen Grant & I) tried out one of his trails at Berowra Waters last Sunday. Short & sweet, so we rode it twice. Great little up-and-down track: I'll put it up in the next few weeks.

It stretches across the Blue Mountain range from the Explorers Tree, near Katoomba, to the Jenolan Caves in the west, crossing over the Kanangra-Boyd National park. At 163 Km from the centre of Sydney and over 37km long for the MTB section alone, this is not a trail to be tackled lightly. The route was first surveyed in 1884. They were trying to forge a bridle trail between Katoomba and the Jenolan Caves. It fell into disrepair in the 1930’s but was rebuilt and reopened for both hiking and biking a few years ago. It’s now a popular 3-day hike and is famous for the annual Six Foot Marathon (and the infamous 12-Foot DOUBLE mar... Click here for more
		Sydney Mountain biking doesn’t come any more interesting than this. A swathe of great trails, some just moments from the main highway, create an MTB haven. Flat ridgelines or steep downhills; wide firetrails or tight singletrack; a mix of rocky slopes and clay-based tracks; it’s all here, with dramatic vistas to keep the eyes as engaged as rest of you. A range of trails, from easy to challenging. Just be sure to go prepared for the weather... Click here for Blue Mountains Trails		You’re on a ridge trail, overlooking a bush-clad valley. You could be deep in the NSW forests but you’re actually in the in the heart of one of the most densely populated parts of Australia, riding some of the most accessible MTB in the world.

South Sydney trails vary from the wide-open Dharawal, to the overgrown and rocky Lucas Heights tracks. In the least densely populated part of Sydney, tracks often reveal more wildlife than people. In and around Royal National, the great work being done on trail maintenance is obvious in the carefully created berms and moulded fire trails. But venture beyond city limits and national parks to uncover wild, shrubby pathways and steep downhills, less pristine and more challenging for the initiated.

Lose yourself but don’t get lost in South Sydney!

TrailFlix - Western Sydney Trails

With almost as many cycleways as MTB tracks, the Western Sydney region caters for a range of biking expertise. Yellowmundee, just this side of the Blue Mountains, is a great destination for the fast & furious thrill-seeker while Mt Annan has both on and-off-road sections, of interest to both newcomers and enthusiasts alike.

Try the M7 Cycleway, one of Sydney’s finest, or maybe explore the wasteland back blocks between the suburban backyards and the Georges River around Kentlyn, or head to North Rocks for some great downhills and hidden valley riding.
