This trail is a short, easy loop along the top of the south side of the ‘Pump Hill’ trails. Ridden clockwise, the trail features a gentle, gradual climb followed by an equally gradual descent with a few small humps and corners, making it perfect for those not wanting much speed. It also makes a good warm-up or time-passer for those riding with others of varying speed and ability. 

Locals Tip: A few pedal strokes on the descending side makes for more fun, but watch for the tight corners. 

Ankle Biters is part of the Pemberton Mtb Network

When we road this trail it was very badly covered with branches and bark from the bluegums wont be much fun for the younger ones till it is cleaned up.

Supported by great organisations

Trails are free and bring so many benefits to our community by providing opportunities to have fun, get fit, socialise, explore and challenge yourself. But they also have to be managed and maintained which only is made possible through terrific sponsors, donations and/or volunteering.
