Gets boring very quickly and the 4x you need an engine for as it is so flat.

A good test of fitness and technical bike handling skills.

I have only spent 1 day riding this course but what a day, I'm sure there will have been plenty of blood, sweat & tears spilt here! Tight twisting berms, fast flowing berms, steep downhill sections that really concentrate the mind, jumps aplenty and fast forest tracks that are a real pleasure and test of ability. The setting is beautiful and it's clear that a lot thought and hard work has gone into making this a mountain biker's mecca to be repeated as often as possible.

this is a great trail, you can get some great speed amazing downhill sections. hard up hill section need to be very fit. i did this trail with a hardtail bike, i would suggest dual suspension.

this is a great ride if you like quite extreme sort of stuff. try do it in the dry alot more fun

DO IT

I must have been bleedin nuts to try this!!

Review:
My mate built my spesh hardtail for me, he lives near by, so suggested we go to Dalby for my first ride...
I hadn't sat on a bike, let alone ridden one in over twenty years. So with no small amount of fear we set off around the red route.
Terrified, confused, can you say no ability what so ever.
Oh My God, I gained more grey hairs and lines on my face in that one day than I have in the previous 39 years. lol

Although I had the steepest learning curve you can imagine, I had a blast attempting to keep up. There are some wicked sections, the sandy built-up single track through the pine trees is my fav bit of all.

Although you could smell my fear (if you get my drift) I've since been back three or four more times and there's still bits that scare the crap out of me but its a blast when you get round. Recommend it, but it is certainly for the more experienced rider, I should Know!! Lol
