The Ridge Riders Cross Country Trail

  • The 6km singletrack is a mix of purpose-built and natural features. It is graded blue with red sections. You need a permit to ride.

Downhill Tracks

  • There are multiple blue, red, and black-graded downhill trails. Sandy-based technical descents with drops, berms, and jumps.

Jump Area

  • Progressive jumps for experienced riders, but all features are now unavailable until further notice.

Pump Track

  • There is also a pump track with rollers, berms, and jumps (no specialist cycle pass required) .

Family Trail

  • The Family Cycle Trail starts next to the visitor centre and follows blue-marker posts through woodland. Free to use (no specialist cycle pass required) and aimed at younger riders and beginners. The loop links into the nearby pump track for additional fun

Permit

Other Stuff
