OVERVIEW Mountain biking trails are easily accessible and have been received with acclaim. The extensive 50km track does offer several options, appealing to mountain bikers of all levels. The network is laid out with trails rated from Green (Easy) to Blue (Intermediate) and Black (Technical). On your bike The Hidden Valley basin creates wide trails with sweeping turns through gently sloping grassland. The Black tracks offer aerial views of the golf course with challenging single tracks and stunning, uninterrupted views. This all contributes to creating a world class all terrain mountain biking trail. Geen route explores the valley bottom below the golf course on wide sweeping trails along the stream edge. Blue route is mostly contouring single track which climbs through many switch backs to half way up the escarpment. Trail levels and contours back to the clump of gumtrees where the black splits off and goes higher and the Blue descends along single track and jeep track back to the centre.
