Newbie to trail riding in NSW....Where should I go for a 1st timer?

[jkhuski]

Hi there,

I would love to get some advise on where I should go to do some easy trail riding in NSW, I live in the Eastern Suburbs so down south will be the best option due to its access.

I have never really done mountain bike trail riding so will need some easy rides to 'break me in' and cant wait to get into it.

Plenty of open fire trail in the Royal....and some slightly more technical bits if you're feeling adventurous.

+1 for the Royal, some great single tracks if you are prepared to hike the bike a little.

It is a bit of a drive but Nowra has Cabbage Tree and Coondo trails that are great for beginners.

Blackbutt Forest Reserve is also pretty good, but is a bit more of a challenge.

Don't limit yourself to south only mate.. plenty over the bridge.. Manly dam isn't too far.. Hornsby MTB park has something for all levels of riders if you decide to venture 40 mins north.. plenty in between..

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I will certainly look to check everything out.

Where is the best place to get maps?

while your out trail riding perhaps you could also try TRIALS RIDING.:frusty:

An "a" and an "i' or an "i" and an "a" makes all the difference as they say....

It's a common mistake for people to make

Watering hole is the section to organise rides. General, XC, All Mountain or DH for info on trails that sort of stuff. The trials section for trial riding related stuff
and the best place to get maps would be in the links already provided
