Book description

Mountain biking in Sydney is an exciting and growing activity, a fun and healthy way to enjoy the beauty of native bushland around the city. Feating 40 trails from Awaba in the north through to the Blue Mountains and down to the Southern Highlands Where to Ride Sydney MTB is a valuable resource for people searching for new places to ride and explore. Erron's love affair with bikes and nature started as a kid with his first BMX. It was a black Redline which he took great joy in thrashing around the local bushland of Southern Sydney and quite unsuccessfully over a few homemade jumps! Needing to regain some fitness after a few bikeless years over in wilds of Western Australia, he resurrected his old hardtail from the shed and took to the fire trails of the Blue Mountains. From his first pedal stroke on the Oakes fire trail he was once again instantly hooked by the mountain biking bug. Since then, fuelled by his secret trail food of jelly snakes, he's clocked up a few thousand kms around Sydney's trails, been geographically embarrassed regularly, spilt his far share of blood to appease the MTB gods, dodged plenty of wildlife, and gone through a pile of shiny bike bits in a number of weird and wonderful trail side mechanicals.
