Margaret River Mountain Bike Trails

Wooditjup Network (Compartment 10), Creek Trails, The Pines and Ten Mile are the key networks in WA's mountain biking mecca. Set in the forest amidst gigantic trees and spectacular scenery, over 50km of mountain bike trails are a mix of gravel roads and single track, suitable for beginner to advanced riders. Wooditjup's little hillside in Margaret River has been wrung for all its worth, providing riders with a fairly short but compelling mountain biking experience. To sum it up... it's all about flow. If you're looking for more of a cruise, the easy and scenic Wadandi Track (Rails to Trails) and Ten Mile Brook tracks are great for all levels of fitness and skill. The Pines slopes are small but worth the visit - 15 km of network which is both engaging and diverse. Die-hard mountain bikers will find epic mountain bike trails that have relentless jumps, berms, logs, roll overs, scrambles, mud and dust. Grommets and leisure seekers won't be left behind either!

Mund Biddi Long-Distance Track

The Munda Biddi Trail is Western Australia’s premier long distance off-road cycling experience - the longest of its kind in the world! Starting in Mundaring (Perth), the 1070km trail meanders through scenic river valleys, magnificent ancient forests or wind-shaped coasts of the state’s South West. Joined by purpose-built track, the Munda Biddi (which means path through the forest in the Noongar language) uses a network of bush tracks, firebreaks, and disused railway formations and has sections suitable for cyclists of all ages and experience levels. Tackle it as an epic end to end adventure (allow 10-20 days depending on your pace) or ride the Trail for an hour, a day, overnight. Camp in purpose-built shelters, or stay in the trail towns (every 50-100km) along the way.
