Kennedy's Bush Track - Christchurch

2008-11-19 19:09:30

Here in Christchurch for a week for my daughter’s wedding so – natch! – checking out CHC MTB and discovered Kennedy’s Bush Track now has a great 2Km single-track section at the end! Unless you’re a lazy downhiller with a girlfriend who’ll drop you up top of Summit Road (yes, Nathan that's you mate!!), you ride 3Km up Cashmere Road, pass the Sign of the Takahe, then the Sign of the Kiwi (2 famous CHC Landmarks) and around the ridgeline along The Summit Road – catching great views of the City & Harbour - ‘til you see the fence stile; hop over and you’re on your way…

Top section: Excellent, fast, bumpy ride. It’s 4Km downhill, mainly clay & some rocky trail, through paddocks of tussock, avoiding the sheep & cow turds, alongside stands of Pine forest and across a couple of cattle grates to the single-track section where the pace changes.

Single-track section: Watch out on the tight corners: Bolivia may have the ‘World’s Most Dangerous Road’, but some of this track would rival that for ‘risk -of-tumbling-down-the-slopes’ stuff… Fun, scary, roller coaster riding…

The end of the Faulconbridge Point trail is well-known for its spectacular view over the Grose Gorge. I guess it’s one of those panoramas you could sit and look at for hours and never get bored. The trail’s not too bad either! A typical Blue Mountains firetrail: rolling country with ascents and descents, enough to get your heart rate up; tiring but nothing too strenuous if you’re reasonably fit. Tempting views at various points along the way but she saves the best ‘til last. The early trailblazers must have been awe-struck. I still am.

Rocky and dusty in summer; it’s a scorcher in the middle of the day so take plenty of water and soak up the view as well.

TrailFlix - Blue Mountains Trails

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...

TrailFlix - Northern Sydney 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. Catch the sea breezes on the rocky ridgelines or smooth outcrops at Oxford Falls. Tackle the rugged up and downhill terrain of Red Hill. Watch the sun rise over Barrenjoey Head at Ku-ring-gai or ride all the way to Hunter Valley and camp along the colourful Old Great North Road’s convict trail…

TrailFlix - Southern Sydney


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.
