 The Old Great North Road | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 9:10

Old Great North Road is one of the oldest bikeable trails in Australia, and still one of the best rides around. With more than a few treacherous rocky sections, a fair bit of climbing and a couple of killer-fast downhill firetrail runs, it’s not for the faint-hearted, but should appeal to the adventurer who wants a long-haul and challenging day outside of the city, for several hours or all day along back roads ...up to Hunter Valley if you’re up to it! The track also has potable water, an NPWS toilet and a huge camping area.

 Back Yamma Bigfoot | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 4:57

350 Km is a heck of a long way to go to ride a MTB bike race, but everyone we spoke to at the Back Yamma Bigfoot Event said the weekend was great; the people, the weather, the race organisation and of course the riding: all stunning! Back Yamma Forest is located between Parkes Forbes, north west of Sydney. Much of the first 25 Km of the track is flat, but it's fast and interesting. The second 25km is hilly and you get some great flowing downhill. Thanks to Grant Byrne for the chest cam...

 Coba Point & Collingridge Point - 5 mins | File Type: video/x-m4v | Duration: 5:00

Coba Point and Collingridge Point are two of the four trails you find in the superb Marramarra National Park, located just past Dural (see the Marramarra Tail Page for more info). With a return of less than 20 Km they’re quick to do in the morning before you tackle the more challenging Marramara and Smugglers DH trailsin the afternoon. The highlights: easy start, combination firetrail and single-track (...that gets more tricky as you go on), excellent signage, great views over Berowra Creek, oh, and a ton of wildlife…
