About the trail

At this time the trail is 7km in length. It consists of two loops:

Stage 1 Loop: less technical but high cardio. This loop consists of some armoured creek crossings, bridges, switch-backs and a number of testing short climbs.

Stage 2 Loop: More technical with less cardio. This loop consists of a long stretch of free flowing single track, jumps (A & B Lines) followed by an open paddock full of technical rock and log obstacles (A & B lines again), more armoured crossings and berm sections.

Stage 3 Loop (not yet constructed) will see a further 4-5km of technical trail added, leading to a total 11-12 km loop for future endurance events.

Also to be constructed is a large pump track at the junction of Stage 1 & 2 loops.

In Trailflix this week: the down and dirty of the Camden River Run in the Blog.

As we saw in the recent Manly Dam debacle, the bush can become a battleground and a new documentary, ’The Woods Belong to Us’ sets out to record both sides of the story in MTBNews

Sticking with the Western Sydney theme this week, Grant Byrne has a review of Appin in the Appin Appin Trail Review page. If you haven’t done it, you owe it to yourself to head out for a run.

Cheers, Grant Shatford

Everyone loves a view, and in combination with Anvil Rock, Baltzer Lookout are a set of trails that - if you’re out west in the Blue Mountains with the better half & looking for something not too challenging - makes for a very pleasant ride. Baltzer & Anvil (sounds like an old English comedy duo) have views (of interesting sounding places - that you can\'t read on Google Maps - the Burra Korrain Ridge, Birrabang Walls and Pierces Ravine) in spades & unlike Butterbox Point you don’t have too ride far to see them. if you are keen on details, check out the \'Mount Wilson\' Lands Map (8930-1N) for the most detailed and accurate information.

Northern Suburbs

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.
