ke382TG Forums Junkie Registered: May 2002	Re: Mountain biking in Canberra Tue, 11 October 2005 00:58 Sparrow Hill: this place is the "new Stromlo" after the fires wiped out all the trails in Stromlo a lot of work went into developing Sparrow Hill. There are a number of marked loops at Sparrow Hill with the main long loop being approximately 22km of almost entirely singletrack. Most of the trails at Sparrow Hill are easily ridden by most levels of rider with enough fitness to ride for over an hour. Shorter loops of approximately 12km can also be taken out at Sparrow hill and new trails are always being added. This place is probably one of the best spots for XC riding in Canberra. Kowen: The site of the 24 Hour Championships has several singletracks spread across a large area. The track used for the 24 hour is about 19km long and well worn in at the moment. However the trails at Kowen are not normally marked in any way and are often used by Motorbikes also. A good place for a longer ride and a bit of exploring. There is a DH track which is not too technical and plenty of cross country tracks which range from smooth and fast to rocky and technical. Majura: The longest established MTB riding area in Canberra. The pine forested area is relatively small but the area contains a large number of singletracks with a variety of difficulty. A good place to ride if you want to ride a lot of tight singletrack. Probably a close second to Sparrow Hill, an excellent range of fun singletrack ranging from smooth and fast to tight and technical. Tuggeranong Pines: this spot has developed a lot over the past 12 months mainly for club level DH racing. Most tracks are suited to riding down. Stromlo: Plenty of firetrail riding and some singletrack on Mt Stromlo has been established for DH racing. Further development of this area will be occuring very soon. Isaacs: Good rocky technical singletrack, you are usually either riding up (steeply) or down (steeply) in Isaacs, not many trails for just cruising along. Hope that info helps. If noobs are in tow, I would go Sparrow Hill, Majura and Stromlo. They should enjoy those places. [Report message to a moderator]
