Club Ride | Dazzleland (Mt Torrens) | Level 2

Join us for an intermediate ride at Dazzleland, a private property in Mt Torrens! We are super lucky to get the opportunity to ride in here as it usually opens for racing a couple of times a year, so don't miss out.

This ride is designated for Level 2 riders due to the more technical nature of the trails. We will be riding a mixture of trails, including some blue and easier black trails. 

Please register as a Level 2 or e-bike rider. This will help us organize the groups more effectively.

We will also organise to go to the local pub after for anyone who might be keen! This is an opportunity to socialise off the bike and get to know other Gravity Girls.

Level 2 Ride at Eagle MTB Park!

Join us for an exhilarating ride at Eagle MTB Park, one of my favourite places to ride! Experience a mix of flow trails, cross-country loops, and some gnarly downhill sections.

This ride is designated for Level 2 riders due to the more technical nature of the trails. If you are a Level 1 or beginner rider, don’t worry! We will also be hosting a 'Come & Try' ride at the same time at the Eagle MTB Park.

Club Ride | Kinchina Conservation Park

Club Ride | Kinchina Conservation Park

Join us for a ride in Kinchina Conservation Park!

This trail location is often overlooked due to its distance from the city, but it is totally worth it. It's always exciting to explore and ride new trails.

Kinchina Conservation Park boasts the largest area of native vegetation in the Monarto Crown Lands region. Our 10km loop meanders through beautiful granite outcrops, which form some of the trail features. With little elevation, these trails have more of a cross-country vibe, featuring some tricky rocky climbs, but nothing too crazy.
