This is our ‘five Sundays in a month’ ride - so it’s not the P-Plate ride, we take in the slightly more challenging trails at the southern end of the park as well as some of the northern favourites. NOTE: We are starting off Kinross Road at Congreve Court. Civilised parking and straight into Pool Shark from there :-).
Suitable for: 🟢 🔵 Adventurous beginner riders and above - comfortable with green trails and moving into blue trails or comfortable with blue trails. Rides are usually 15-18km in length and will always be tailored to the level of riders in the group, so don’t feel you’ll be holding others back. However, the ride is not suitable for absolute beginners.
Location: Scribbly Gums or Redlands Track Park takes has mostly old school tech trails, but most are easier and flowy. This ride will include trails like Downpipe and Pool Shark etc. which are more challenging than the northern end trails such as Carwash or Bondi.
