Awaba’s a hefty 123Km from Sydney central but if you’re heading up North it’s a great stopover. For Newcastle guys, it’s just a 30-minute drive across the freeway to beautiful X-country singletrack meandering through the Awaba State Forest. With a big car park and a challenging downhill track nearby, the Hunter Mountain Biking Association have set it up really well. Only 5.5Km today, they’re planning to extend the singletrack to 8km and add other facilities to make the area even better. The Full vid includes an interview with Lenny Allen.

Mogo - a small town just south of Batemans Bay - is the home of the Angry Doctor Endurance Event which travels through (50 or) 100Km of well-groomed singletrack and wide firetrails in the nearby Mogo forest each September. Hundreds line up to compete, and we filmed a few of them beforehand and along the trails in the 2008 race…

Narrowneck is a rough, roller coaster of a ride; steep, rocky down & uphills -most will walk at least some of these - and some impressive, panoramic vistas along the way. This video from Noel Gurney & mates showcases the first part of this classic Blue Mountains trail

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.

One of the Blue Mountains Classic rides.

The end of the Grose 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.

Ourimbah is one of the most frequented MTB trails by riders north of the Sydney border. Regulars from Gosford to Newcastle head there almost every weekend to take advantage of the well-formed trails, the high-speed downhill ‘Roller Coaster’ and the snake-like bush-covered trails like ‘Jurassic Park’. All the trails are inspiring and a few can test both man & machine. Once ridden never forgotten.

McLeans Forest at the Waimakariri River Regional Park in Christchurch NZ has a great new XC track that’s an easy 10Km sprint. The curvaceous trail meanders through stands of new and 20-year-old pine forest and is adjacent to golf, horseriding, Orana Park Zoo and the fast-moving & freezing* Waimakariri River (*in Maori: Wai means water and makariri means cold).

Just 32Km from the CBD, Menai-Lucas Heights is a little off the beaten track but well worth the time to scout out. It’s chock full of trails and has enough rock-garden and singletrack to keep you going for at least half a day

Lucas Heights is a rock garden heaven. Not for the faint-hearted, the rocks and drops are challenging but fulfilling. Combine that with fast flowing singletrack and tight bushy tracks, with flax cutting at your ankles and a criss-cross of trails, you have a combination wasteland/wonderland for MTB.

Riding the Summit Road in Christchurch, New Zealand is riding the crater rim of a 12 million year-old volcano. The road follows the crest of the Port Hills above Christchurch, giving great views of the city, the agricultural plains and the Snow-lined Southern Alps. What’s more, it’s a gateway to a variety of XC & downhill MTB tracks.

Just 45 minutes ride from the centre of Christchurch, New Zealand, is Sumner Beach. Ride uphill for a kilometre to the Summit Road and you’re above the city in dry and rocky grassland, criss-crossed with hiking and biking tracks. The Summit Road’s a great way to take in the cityscape and get access to some of the best MTB Christchurch has to offer.

Kentlyn (or Minto Heights as the area is also known) is a great and largely untouched trail area out in Sydney’s southwest. It has some of the most diverse XC riding in the city. The area itself is a reserve and it’s out of the way, so there are few fellow adventurers & no signs restricting bikes. In other words it’s a well-kept secret… now out of the bag!

An extensive botanic garden out west in Camden, Mt Annan has an easy-ride circuit road, a smooth, paved bike & walking path plus a swathe of clay-based off-road trails, criss-crossing the park. As a biking destination, it’s great for kids to medium level MTB’ers.

Lane Cove National Park is a valley wilderness in the midst of a heap of several very urban suburbs in Sydneys inner northwest. The video shows just 2 of the more than 20 entrances that you can use to get into the park, which is well-used for both commuting and recreation. Great for newbies and more expereinced riders alike, it’s a great series of trails.

Mt York trail is not for the faint-hearted. An historic and challenging ride along Lockyer’s (ridge) Road, it’s got tight singletrack, rock gardens and steep descents. But it’s also got a pub smack dab at the halfway point (accessible by road for the non-riding support crew) and heaps of places to stop & explore, with an easy run out until you get to the killer ascent at the end. The Full video shows you the whole story, including how we got rained out and had to stop at the pub…
