On your bike

Three mapped, circular trails of great variation and diversity – along mostly jeep track and gravel roads – cater for everyone from social riders to superheroes in training for the Epic. The Ouberg route offers unlimited mileage and some tougher sections along a dirt track. The Baden route winds along endless dirt roads through beautiful scenery, while the Talana route makes for an easy cruise through fantastic farm lands and mountains, with a speedy blast home on a tar stretch.

The original ‘Dusty Sprocket’ routes are unfortunately long gone, but technical riders in search of fun should head out along Church Street. Continue south past the hospital onto a dirt road to the top; keep left here until you see another track going of left … take a deep breath and explore!
