Mountain biking

Mountain biking is a great way to get out and explore some of our region’s most beautiful bushland areas and keep fit at the same time.

Whether you are a first-time mountain biker, or experienced on the trails, we’ve got a workshop to suit you. Visit our events calendar for a list of free mountain biking sessions.

Volunteer mountain bike riders are working with Council to protect and restore natural areas through the maintenance and improvement of the track and trail network.
